305-086-556-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-556-502 is a standard dual-edge card edge connector receptacle designed for high-density board-to-board applications. It features 86 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Constructed with copper alloy contacts gold-plated for reliable conductivity, it utilizes a green thermoplastic housing. Rated for 5 A current, the component supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation with solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, material certifications, and environmental compliance status. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance and mounting style specifications for the target assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge receptacle with 86 positions and 3.96 mm pitch is required. Confirm compatibility with 0.062-inch thick PCBs and verify that the vertical panel mount configuration aligns with the mechanical enclosure constraints and mating header requirements.

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, maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing across models to support modular design strategies in industrial and commercial electronics manufacturing environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 86-position count. Verify identical PCB thickness acceptance and mounting orientation before substitution to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity.
