305-086-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-500-568 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 (1.57 mm) nominal thickness printed circuit boards, this component supports a continuous current rating of 5A and withstands 1800VACrms. The contacts are copper alloy with gold plating, housed in a green thermoplastic insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Features a low-profile insulator body for compact assembly requirements
• Provides robust electrical isolation with high voltage withstand capability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct housing color and termination style compatibility. Confirm that the receiving PCB thickness falls within the specified tolerance range for reliable contact engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your supply chain regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-pin-count interface is required for double-sided card edge applications. Ensure the mating PCB design accommodates the 3.96mm pitch and allows space for polarizing key insertion. Compare against the broader 305 series catalog to determine if alternative row counts or mounting styles better suit the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for reliable signal transmission. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations, catering to diverse industrial and commercial electronics needs while maintaining consistent electrical performance standards across different form factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC part numbers 305-086-500-201 and 305-086-520-568, which share identical pin counts and dimensional specifications. Verify that any replacement variant matches the required termination type and housing material properties for equivalent performance.
