306-006-521-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-006-521-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a single row of 12 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and low contact resistance. It is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The insulator body is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing durability and electrical insulation. This component supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
