306-006-421-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-421-104 is a dual-edge female card edge connector with 12 positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. Designed for panel mount through-hole installation, it features tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and complies with RoHS 3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with cantilever contacts for secure board insertion
• Panel mount design with flush mounting flange and top opening
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation body for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Consumer electronics internal board connections
• Medical device circuit board assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and spacing against the target PCB layout before ordering. Confirm that the receiving board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in regulated environments. Ensure the through-hole mounting style matches the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required for panel-mounted applications. Consider the 12-position count and through-hole termination method for compatibility with existing manufacturing processes. Evaluate the thermal rating and material composition against environmental conditions. Compare against other series options if higher current ratings or different board thicknesses are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which offers various design options for card edge connectors. The series provides flexibility in contact configurations, mounting styles, and insulator materials to meet diverse interconnect needs. The 306 series is designed for standard board thicknesses and general-purpose applications across multiple industries.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching position counts and spacing. Verify compatibility with alternative manufacturers by comparing mechanical dimensions, contact plating, and insulation materials. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same dual-edge female configuration and panel mount requirements.
