306-007-421-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-421-112 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 14 positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for reliable edgeboard connection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability
• Panel mount installation with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Automotive electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and insulation color specifications. Ensure the target PCB edge thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the panel mounting style aligns with the enclosure design requirements before finalizing the procurement order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface with a 3.96mm pitch is required. The gold plating offers superior conductivity compared to tin alternatives in corrosive environments. Verify that the 14-position count matches the circuit trace layout. Consider the operating temperature range if the application involves extreme thermal conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options to accommodate different board densities. The 306-007-421-112 specifically addresses needs for moderate-density dual-edge connections in compact panel-mounted assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 Series parts with identical pitch and position counts but different plating or color codes. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 0.156-inch pitch, dual female contact type, and panel mount footprint to ensure mechanical compatibility.
