306-007-500-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-500-112 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports a maximum current rating of 5 A. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a thickness of 10.0 µin (0.25 µm). It is rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure engagement with double-sided circuit boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Panel mount installation style provides stable mechanical support in chassis applications

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation needing high-reliability signal paths

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact finish and plating thickness requirements. Ensure the selected variant matches the required pitch and position count for the target PCB design. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted materials are prohibited in the final assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge, panel-mount solution is required for vertical board insertion. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates standard board thicknesses within the specified range. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the application circuitry.

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, providing a modular approach to interconnect solutions. The 306 series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics for its durability and standardized form factor.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching pitch and position counts, such as 306-007-500-104 or 306-009-500-104, provided the pin count aligns with the design. Cross-brand replacements require strict verification of pitch, height, and contact geometry.
