305-084-555-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-084-555-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel-mounted applications. It features 84 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration 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 and a thermoplastic insulator body, it supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for reliable board insertion
• Low profile insulator body design for space-constrained installations
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure stable electrical performance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring high-density connections
• Industrial control systems utilizing double-sided card edge PCBs
• Communication equipment interfaces demanding robust signal integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and insulation color. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets or authorized distributor declarations to meet regulatory requirements for the intended deployment environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount interface is required for an 84-position connection. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard double-sided cards. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 5 A rating and 105°C maximum operating temperature. Consider the solder lug termination type for appropriate PCB layout and assembly processes during the design phase.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides various configurations of card edge connectors. The series offers multiple position counts and termination options tailored for different industrial and commercial applications. The 305-084 variant specifically addresses high-pin-count requirements while maintaining the standard mechanical dimensions associated with the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305/315/355 Series Ordering Guide for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference position counts, pitch, and termination styles to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. Verify that any alternative maintains the same panel-mount orientation and PCB thickness acceptance criteria.
