305-086-500-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-500-503 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 86 positions with dual female contacts. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm (0.140 inch) row spacing. Designed for .062 inch (1.57 mm) nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts soldered to the PCB. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for high-density board connections
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body accommodates space-constrained designs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact finish thickness and material specifications. Ensure the target application requires the dual-edge female configuration and matches the 3.96 mm pitch requirement. Cross-reference the lead time data provided by authorized distributors, as manufacturing cycles may vary based on production schedules.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count interface is required for .062 inch thick boards. Confirm that the 5 A current rating per contact aligns with the electrical load requirements. Verify compatibility with the mating card edge thickness and the available panel or PCB mounting space constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
