305-086-556-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-086-556-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge 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 featuring gold plating, it provides reliable electrical performance. The unit utilizes a green thermoplastic insulator body and supports panel mounting configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating specified PCB thickness
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Low-profile thermoplastic insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment interface connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or verified electronic component marketplaces. Confirm that the received part matches the specific ordering number 305-086-556-568 to ensure correct pin count and spacing specifications. Check RoHS compliance documentation if required for your assembly process. Ensure storage conditions maintain component integrity prior to installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density connection is required for double-sided edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing fewer rows than finer pitches but higher density than wider standards. Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm acceptance range. Consider the vertical panel mount style if space constraints require a specific orientation relative to the chassis.
