• Automotive electronics assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 86-position count and 3.96 mm pitch before ordering. Confirm that the target application supports panel mounting and accommodates the specified 1.57 mm board thickness. Ensure environmental conditions remain within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or availability notices associated with this component.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-density interface with 86 positions is required for dual-edge circuit boards. The 3.96 mm spacing provides adequate clearance for standard PCB layouts. Choose the solder eyelet termination for secure panel-mounted assembly. Consider the gold contact finish for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Verify compatibility with existing mechanical constraints regarding panel cutouts and board thickness tolerances.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their .156 inch contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to accommodate different design requirements. The 305-086-500-504 specifically addresses needs for higher pin counts in a dual-row format, providing a standardized solution for industrial interconnect applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 86 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-086-500-201 or 305-086-500-202, provided the termination type and mounting style align with the design. Cross-brand replacements require verification of identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and contact plating specifications.
