307-007-505-168

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-007-505-168 is a standard card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for single-row applications. It features 7 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating and employs a solder terminal type for PCB attachment. It supports a board thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for non-specified single-edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Solder hole termination provides secure panel or PCB mounting

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, orientation, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for updated environmental compliance status such as RoHS directives.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row interface is required for moderate current applications. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch constraint and verify that the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified mechanical limits. Evaluate thermal requirements against the stated operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing modular solutions for board-to-board or board-to-panel connections in compact electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for direct equivalents. Verify mechanical footprint and electrical ratings match before considering alternative manufacturers.
