305-082-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-082-500-558 is a standard dual female card edge connector designed for panel mounting applications. It features 82 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A, an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, while the insulator body is constructed from green thermoplastic.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration providing 82 connection points
• Low profile insulator body design
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Automotive electronics assemblies needing high reliability
• Test and measurement instrumentation hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct termination type and material specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness matches the component's acceptance criteria before procurement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the target market requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 82 positions is required for a 1.57 mm thick board. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications where space efficiency is balanced with high pin count density. Consider the 5 A current rating and wide temperature range for demanding environments. Verify that the solder lug termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options to accommodate different design needs. The 305 series is characterized by its low-profile construction and durable materials suitable for repeated mating cycles in industrial settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the same EDAC 305 family that share identical pitch, row count, and board thickness specifications. Ensure any substitute maintains the same termination style and mounting configuration to preserve mechanical fit.
