306-006-400-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-006-400-107 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 12 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic housing. Rated for 5 A current, it supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle. The unit accommodates PCB thicknesses within specified mechanical tolerances and operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount design facilitates structured chassis integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Medical device interconnect modules
• Aerospace avionics subsystems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the target application requires the dual-edge variant rather than single-edge alternatives within the 306 series. Cross-reference the 12-position count and 3.96 mm pitch with the mechanical drawing to prevent interface mismatches during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for a 12-position interface. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the trace spacing on the mating PCB. Verify that the enclosure color and thermal rating align with the environmental constraints of the final assembly. Confirm that the vertical mounting style fits the available chassis depth.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles for rack and panel applications. EDAC manufactures these interconnects for computing, storage, and industrial sectors, emphasizing rigorous quality assurance and global logistics support for OEM requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 series cross-reference guide for direct substitutes. Verify compatibility regarding pitch, row configuration, and mounting orientation before swapping.
