306-006-421-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-421-108 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 12 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and tin-plated termination tails for solder pin end connections. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, the unit accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The insulator body is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing a low-profile configuration suitable for dense electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and termination style match the required application specifications. Confirm that the 12-position count aligns with the target board layout. Ensure the panel mount orientation matches the mechanical design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 12-position card edge interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style dictates the mechanical integration method. Verify that the target PCB thickness conforms to the 1.57 mm nominal specification to ensure proper contact engagement and mechanical stability during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-006-421-108 specifically denotes a 12-position variant within this family, characterized by its specific contact spacing and low-profile housing design for standard electronic applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for direct cross-reference substitutes. Verify that any alternative maintains identical 3.96 mm spacing, 12-position count, and vertical panel mount compatibility to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
