306-006-500-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-500-112 is a dual-edge card edge connector featuring 12 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. Designed for panel mounting, it utilizes solder eyelet termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The connector accommodates printed circuit boards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). It employs a thermoplastic polyester insulator in green and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Panel-mount installation with solder eyelet termination
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging quantity requirements prior to order placement. Cross-reference the base part number 306-006 with the full suffix to validate all electrical and mechanical specifications match the design intent.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 12 positions and 0.156-inch pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070-inch range. Verify that panel mounting and solder eyelet termination align with the assembly process. Consider the operating temperature range and material composition for environmental suitability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which provides standard card edge solutions. The series offers various position counts and spacing options to accommodate different board designs. The 306-006 variant specifically addresses applications needing a compact dual-edge interface with reliable gold-plated contact performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain identical 12-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Panel mount style and solder eyelet termination are critical for mechanical compatibility. Verify that replacement parts support the same PCB thickness range and operate within the specified temperature limits.
