306-006-420-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-420-103 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 Series. It features 6 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a single row configuration. Designed for panel mount installation, it utilizes solder pin termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester in green color, accommodating a board thickness of 1.57 mm. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever contact design ensures reliable mating with double-edge card connectors
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission
• Flush mount flange with floating bobbin feature aids in alignment and stress relief

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging quantities prior to order placement. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of the thermoplastic housing and contact plating. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm parameter consistency with design requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 6-position vertical card edge interface is required with high current capacity. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing for noise immunity. Verify that the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification. Consider the operating temperature range against environmental conditions to ensure long-term reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

Part of the EDAC 306 Series, designed for general-purpose card edge applications. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. This specific variant focuses on durability and ease of panel mounting. It complements other EDAC connectors by providing standardized dimensions and material properties for consistent system integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers within the 306 series sharing identical 6-position, 3.96 mm pitch, and vertical panel mount specifications. Verify contact plating and insulation material compatibility before substitution. Generic equivalents may lack the specific floating bobbin flange feature.
