306-006-520-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-520-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for dual-edge board connections. It features 12 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96mm) and a row spacing of 0.200 inches (5.08mm). The connector utilizes tail-type contacts with gold plating on the contact area to ensure reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is green, providing visual identification and environmental protection. This component is engineered for surface-mount or through-hole integration into electronic assemblies requiring secure card edge interfacing.
