305-086-520-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-520-502 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 86 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch. It supports dual-edge board connections for a thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, it utilizes solder pin termination. The housing is green thermoplastic, operating between -40°C and +105°C with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount design for fixed installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density I/O
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the target PCB or edgeboard matches the required 1.57 mm thickness tolerance. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The dual-edge design provides stability for thicker boards compared to single-edge variants. Verify that the 5 A current rating per contact meets the circuit requirements and that the operating temperature range covers the intended environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-086 variant specifically addresses applications needing 86 connection points in a compact footprint while maintaining industrial-grade durability and electrical performance standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305-series parts for different position counts. Verify compatibility with existing tooling and PCB layouts when substituting similar models from the same manufacturer family.
