357-030-560-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 357-030-560-268 is a standard card edge connector featuring 30 positions in a dual female configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a half-beam termination style, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Designed for vertical through-hole mounting, the housing is constructed from black thermoplastic polyester. This component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.
