306-006-421-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-006-421-107 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 Series. It features 6 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. The connector utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Designed for panel mount installation, it supports vertical orientation and solder pin termination. The unit accommodates board thicknesses within the specified range and operates reliably across a temperature span of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Tin-plated copper alloy contact system
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulation
• Solder pin termination method

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control interface connections
• General-purpose circuit board interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm plating type and contact configuration. Ensure the application environment remains within the rated temperature limits. Confirm that the PCB thickness matches the connector specifications. Check regional availability as distribution status varies by location. Validate RoHS compliance requirements prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-position count vertical connector is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical alignment. Tin plating offers cost-effective conductivity for non-corrosive environments. Verify that the dual-edge card design aligns with the mating board geometry. Consider thermal ratings if high-power dissipation is expected in the assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors. The series includes various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-006 variant specifically addresses needs for minimal I/O points. It shares family characteristics such as the 3.96 mm pitch and thermoplastic construction found across the broader product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with identical pitch and position counts but different plating or housing colors. Cross-referencing requires matching the 3.96 mm spacing and vertical panel mount style. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same solder pin termination and copper alloy contact material.
