306-006-520-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-520-103 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with six positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is made of thermoplastic material, providing electrical insulation with a resistance rating of 5 GOhms. The unit supports a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with low profile insulator body

• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic housing providing high insulation resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Communication equipment interfaces
• Medical device internal connectivity
• Consumer electronics assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pin count, contact spacing, and termination style match the design requirements. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required PCB thickness tolerance of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the environmental conditions of the intended application. Cross-reference the part number with the latest EDAC documentation to avoid discrepancies in package or material specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for a six-position interface. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining a compact footprint. The dual female configuration allows for mating with male card edge connectors on adjacent boards. Consider the 5 A current rating and 5 GOhm insulation resistance for safety compliance in low-voltage signaling environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse industrial and commercial applications. The 306-006-520-103 specifically addresses needs for vertical integration with durable, gold-plated contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC official cross-reference guide for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 0.156 inch pitch, 6-position count, and dual female configuration. Verify compatibility with the existing PCB thickness and panel mounting constraints before substitution.
