306-007-421-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-421-104 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 14 positions with female contacts arranged in a single row. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in tin plating, the housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester. It offers through-hole mounting capabilities and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 14-position configuration and dual-edge compatibility before ordering. Confirm that the tin contact finish aligns with your assembly process requirements. Ensure the selected PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance during installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Consider the through-hole mounting style for stable mechanical fixation. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions. Verify that the board thickness specifications match the target PCB design to ensure proper fit and contact retention without mechanical stress.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options for diverse electronic applications. The 306-007-421-104 specifically addresses needs for compact, reliable connections in space-constrained environments while maintaining durability under thermal cycling conditions typical in industrial settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series connectors with matching 14-position counts and dual-edge configurations. Ensure alternative parts maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and through-hole termination style. Verify that substitute components offer equivalent thermal ratings and contact material specifications to preserve system reliability.
