306-006-420-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-420-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring a dual female configuration with six positions. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and is designed for vertical panel mount installation. The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing structural integrity and electrical insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge mating
• Vertical orientation facilitates direct panel mounting integration
• Gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides durable insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Consumer electronic module attachment points
• Medical device internal board-to-panel linking

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition requirements. Ensure the receiving facility handles electrostatic discharge sensitive components appropriately during storage and assembly. Confirm that the panel cutout dimensions align precisely with the connector's mechanical envelope specifications before final procurement authorization.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row dual-sided connection is required for thin PCBs. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing moderate density without excessive height constraints. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental demands of the target deployment scenario prior to integration into the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 306-006 variant specifically addresses compact six-position needs. It complements other EDAC solutions by providing a reliable, cost-effective interconnect option for general-purpose electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 306-006-420-102 or 306-006-521-101 if different plating or flange configurations are needed. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility with existing PCB layouts before substitution. Ensure mechanical footprint matches the original design constraints to maintain panel fit.
