305-086-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-556-207 is a standard card edge connector header 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. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, the unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, while the insulator body is green thermoplastic.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates non-specified dual-edge cards
• Low-profile insulator body construction for compact integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the panel mount orientation aligns with the system mechanical constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count dual-row interface is required for thick board applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits heavy-duty industrial environments. Verify that the gold contact finish meets the corrosion resistance requirements for the intended operational environment compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts up to 86 contacts in dual-row configurations. These headers are engineered for robust mechanical stability and electrical performance in demanding industrial and commercial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 305 series that match the 86-position count and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that alternative suppliers offer identical row spacing and board thickness acceptance criteria to maintain mechanical fit.
