306-007-420-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-420-158 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB applications. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector utilizes tin-plated contacts and a green insulator body, supporting through-hole panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for non-specified card types
• Tin-plated contact surfaces for reliable signal transmission
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Standard card edge interconnection systems
• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Through-hole PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the contact plating finish, as variations exist within the 306 series. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Confirm RoHS3 compliance requirements match the project standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge configuration is required for board insertion. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Verify that the tin plating meets environmental or conductivity needs compared to gold alternatives in the same series.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-007 base number indicates the specific form factor and pin count configuration within the manufacturer's catalog structure.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The 306-007-521-158 serves as a direct substitute but features gold plating instead of tin. Verify that the change in contact material does not impact system performance or regulatory compliance before substituting.
