Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm plating type, row count, and mounting style. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified operational range of 0.031 to 0.062 inches. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 12 positions is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Verify compatibility with the mating card's edge guide and ensure the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental corrosion resistance needs of the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The 306-006-421-112 specifically addresses applications requiring a compact dual-edge solution with vertical mounting capabilities in industrial or commercial equipment.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts by matching the 12-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual-edge configuration, and vertical panel mount style. Ensure substitute components support the same board thickness range and utilize similar termination methods for reliable electrical connection.
