305-084-520-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-084-520-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount installation. It features 84 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports dual-edge card types. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a half-bermuda contact type and solder pin termination. Constructed with thermoplastic polyester insulation, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and accommodates board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches.
