306-007-400-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-400-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features a dual-edge configuration with 14 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with tin plating and utilize a solder pin termination type. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for secure board insertion
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount style facilitates fixed installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Electronic module mounting in panel enclosures
• General-purpose circuit board interconnection

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and position count. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical assembly requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final product deployment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. The tin-plated contacts are suitable for general applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Consider the 14-position capacity and the specific board thickness tolerance during mechanical design. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors, which offers various position counts and mounting styles. The series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic construction and standardized pitch dimensions. The 306-007-400-101 specifically represents a 14-position variant with tin contacts, distinguishing it from gold-plated or different position variants within the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with identical 14-position dual-edge specifications and matching pitch. Verify that any alternative maintains the same vertical panel mount orientation and thermal rating. Ensure the replacement part supports the same PCB thickness range and utilizes compatible termination methods.
