305-082-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-082-555-201 is a standard card edge receptacle featuring 82 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row pitch. Designed for .062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the connector employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. The unit supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates double-sided card edges
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body facilitates compact assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required flange or mounting style, as variations exist within the series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure PCB hole patterns align with the specified mounting dimensions to prevent mechanical stress during soldering.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection is required for .062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm spacing suits applications where board real estate allows wider traces. Verify that the mating card edge thickness falls within the acceptable tolerance range to maintain proper contact pressure and electrical continuity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for general-purpose electronic applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting options to support diverse system architectures while maintaining consistent electrical performance standards across the product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305-series variants such as 305-082-520-202 for potential mechanical differences. Verify pin count and spacing compatibility before substituting any alternative connector from different manufacturers.
