I'm hoping someone can guide me in purchasing a suitable item....
I need a card edge connector which can provide power to a circuit board which in turn controls the brightness of an incandescent light bulb or two. All power will pass through the edge connector.
The board has a card edge 44mm wide, with 5 contacts on each side with ~8mm pitch. (Only three are used: 120v in, 120v out, and ground.)
I'm looking at EDAC part #305-020-500-202 which I believe will fit: 20 positions at 3.96 pitch, giving two connections for each contact on the board.
The datasheet says it's rated at 5 Amps, and "Dielectric Withstand Voltage 1800 VAC rms at sea level between adjacent contacts" (not sure what that means.) I think this should be plenty for one or two 60 watt 120v incandescent bulbs, but I don't want to start a fire. (Other very similar candidates are TEC 7-530666-2 and SCS EBM10DSEH)
Thanks for any advice with this weirdly specific question!
