305-082-500-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-082-500-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 82 positions in a dual configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder lug termination. It accommodates PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm and supports a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card acceptance
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Solder lug termination for secure panel mounting
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulator housing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge modules
• Automotive electronics applications needing high-current connections
• Medical devices requiring reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and housing color variations within the 305 series. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 5 A current rating aligns with system requirements. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge, panel-mount solution with 82 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between contacts. Consider the 5 A current rating for power or signal lines. Verify that the vertical mounting style fits the enclosure constraints and that the solder lug termination method matches the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their durability and suitability for harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing flexibility for different board-to-board and board-to-panel interface needs across industrial and commercial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 305 series variants with identical pin counts and pitch but different suffixes for minor physical variations. Cross-reference with 315 or 355 series only if form factor differences are acceptable. Always validate mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against original specifications before substitution.
