306-006-421-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-421-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 12 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The contacts are made of copper alloy with tin plating, rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, suitable for PCB thicknesses of 1.57 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board retention
• Vertical orientation facilitates direct panel integration
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Medical device circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color variants. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm design specification. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical assembly requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface is required for robust signal transmission. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary for corrosion resistance or low-contact resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers extensive customization options for position counts and mounting styles. It is engineered to meet rigorous quality standards for industrial and commercial electronic assemblies requiring reliable edge-board connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variations such as 306-006-521-101, which differs primarily in contact plating specifications. Verify dimensional compatibility and electrical ratings when considering alternative part numbers from the same manufacturer family.
