305-086-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-500-501 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 86 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for .062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. The connector supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, housing color, and mounting style variations. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness tolerances before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability and lead times. Request sample units for mechanical fit verification in final assembly designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 86-position interface is required for .062 inch thick circuit boards. The dual-row layout maximizes pin count within a compact footprint. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Confirm that the 5 A current rating per contact meets the signal or power distribution requirements of the target system design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers a wide range of card edge connectors for rack and panel applications. The series provides various mounting options and row configurations to support diverse interconnect needs. EDAC specializes in complex interconnect solutions for global OEMs across computing, aerospace, and industrial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 305-086-500-201, which shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications but features a different housing color designation. Verify that any alternative part maintains the same 86-position count and 3.96 mm pitch to ensure board layout compatibility.
