307-031-505-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-031-505-104 is a standard single-row card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 31 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The housing utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides high dielectric strength

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact finish and housing color variations. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required row count and PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability status and compliance certifications such as RoHS.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 1.57 mm PCB thickness compatibility dictates the design constraints for the mating edge card. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal operating limits when evaluating electrical load requirements. Verify that the vertical orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly layout.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 307 Series, which defines a family of standard card edge connectors characterized by 3.96 mm contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, including panel and PCB mount options. The 307-031-505-104 represents a specific variant within this lineup, distinguished by its 31-position count and single-row female configuration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 307/357 Ordering Guide for verified substitute part numbers within the same series. Direct replacements must maintain identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm PCB thickness compatibility. Verify that alternative parts match the single-row female contact type and vertical mounting style.
