305-084-555-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-084-555-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female edge board applications. It features 84 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it provides a current rating of 5 A. The unit utilizes a thermoplastic insulator body and supports vertical panel mount installation via solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration for non-specified edge board connections
• Low profile insulator body design
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount style with solder lug termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density I/O
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules
• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and mounting hardware. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the environmental corrosion resistance requirements for the intended operational environment. Cross-reference the mechanical dimensions against the host chassis to guarantee proper fit during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 84 positions is required in a panel-mounted application. Ensure the host PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal specification to maintain proper contact engagement. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch for trace routing density and the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs within the system architecture.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are characterized by their robust construction and versatile mounting options. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic interconnection requirements. The 305-084 variant specifically addresses high-pin-count applications needing reliable dual-sided connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series connectors with matching 84-position dual female configurations and identical 0.156-inch pitch. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 0.062-inch PCB thickness tolerance and vertical panel mount orientation to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
