305-084-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-084-520-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel-mounted vertical installation. It features 84 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination. It supports PCB thicknesses of 1.57 mm and offers a continuous current rating of 5 A with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800VACrms insulation capability
• Features gold-plated contacts on copper alloy substrates for reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic interconnect systems requiring polarized keying
• Panel-mounted circuit board interfaces demanding robust insulation
• Industrial equipment utilizing standardized card edge form factors

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the required polarizing keys match the connector's acceptance specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before final procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 84-position interface is required with vertical panel mounting. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates higher density compared to standard 0.100-inch options. Ensure the application environment supports the specified temperature range and that the 5A current rating meets the electrical load requirements without derating.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in accepting various polarizing keys and offering high voltage insulation ratings. The 305 series is widely used in applications requiring reliable, high-density connections with robust mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-084-500-501. Verify that alternative parts maintain identical pitch, position count, and mounting style. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure equivalent current ratings and insulation properties before substitution.
