Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm plating type and row configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical assembly requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest manufacturer datasheet to meet regulatory standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel applications. The 12-position count suits moderate-density signal routing needs. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C covers the environmental conditions of the intended deployment site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors with a 3.96 mm centerline spacing. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-006-420-112 specifically denotes a 12-position variant with defined plating and mounting characteristics within this standardized product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for direct equivalents. Verify pin count, pitch, and mounting style match exactly. Generic card edge connectors may not fit the specified 1.57 mm board thickness or panel mount constraints.
