307-007-505-178

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-007-505-178 is a single-row female card edge connector with 7 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. It features gold-plated copper alloy contacts, a green thermoplastic polyester insulator, and solder lug termination for panel mount installation. The unit supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Single-edge female contact configuration
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals
• Thermoplastic polyester housing

Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnects
• Industrial control system interfaces
• Communication equipment backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes to ensure correct orientation and mounting style. Confirm that the target application requires a single-row female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch. Check RoHS compliance status against specific project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row interface is required for panel mounting. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the specified mechanical limits. Verify that the 5 A current rating and operating temperature range meet the environmental demands of the intended deployment scenario.

Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 307 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options for reliable PCB-to-panel connections. The 307-007 variant specifically addresses applications requiring minimal footprint with seven signal or power lines.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 307-series connectors with identical 7-position, single-row, female specifications. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 3.96 mm pitch, panel mount style, and terminal termination type to ensure mechanical compatibility.
