306-007-421-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-421-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 14 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with a thermoplastic polyester insulator, it supports panel mount installation via solder pin termination. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector configuration for secure board insertion
• Low-profile insulator body design for space-constrained installations
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs
• Single centerline row arrangement for simplified routing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument module docking
• General-purpose electronic assembly card edge mating

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and insulation color specifications. Confirm that the thermal rating aligns with the operational environment requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness tolerance. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or supply limitations before finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required for 14-position interfaces. Consider the tin-plated contacts for cost-effective applications where high corrosion resistance is not critical. Evaluate the panel mount style against available chassis mounting options. Compare the low-profile height against spatial constraints in the enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for dual-edge applications. The 306 series is characterized by its thermoplastic polyester construction and robust mechanical design suitable for repeated insertion cycles in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the EDAC 306 series for alternative position counts. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 0.156 inch pitch and 0.062 inch board thickness acceptance. Ensure identical mounting style and termination method compatibility.
