305-082-555-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-082-555-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 82 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes female half-beadling contacts with gold plating on copper alloy terminals. It accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, and it employs solder termination for secure mounting.
