305-086-521-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-521-268 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 pitch and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is green, low-profile nylon, designed for panel mounting with vertical orientation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating double-sided PCBs
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body reduces overall assembly height requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm plating thickness, material grade, and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB stack-up dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor catalogs to prevent substitution errors due to minor suffix variations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-edge connectivity is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with existing board layout constraints. Evaluate panel mounting requirements versus PCB mount alternatives within the 305 series. Consider current rating limits relative to total pin count usage in the application circuit.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various configurations for card edge applications. The series provides options for different position counts, mounting styles, and contact materials. This specific variant emphasizes dual-edge capability with robust gold plating for demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC 305-086-521-201 and 305-086-521-268 variants with differing housing colors or plating grades. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before swapping.
