306-007-421-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-007-421-107 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 14 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes a female contact type with tin plating and copper alloy construction. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The unit employs a solder pin termination method and is intended for panel mount installation. The housing material is thermoplastic polyester, colored green. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for non-specified card types
• Panel mount installation with vertical orientation
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation housing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring dual-edge board interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and termination style. Confirm that the tin-plated contact finish meets the environmental and conductivity requirements of the target application. Cross-reference the panel mount dimensions with the mechanical drawing to ensure proper fit within the enclosure assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper contact engagement. Consider the tin plating option if lead-free compliance or specific solderability characteristics are necessary compared to gold-plated 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 configurations. The 306-007-421-107 specifically denotes a 14-position dual-edge variant. The numbering system encodes physical attributes such as pitch, contact type, and plating finish consistent with EDAC's product coding standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 3.96 mm pitch and 14-position count. Verify mechanical footprint and terminal alignment before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer similar specifications but require full dimensional and electrical validation.
