306-007-500-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-007-500-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C. It accommodates card thicknesses from 0.054 to 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and mounting variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications match project requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor databases to validate current availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070-inch range. Consider the 14-position count and two-row layout for circuit density needs. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended deployment site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations including single and dual-edge options with different row counts and pitches. The 306 series is characterized by its robust metal flange and versatile mounting solutions, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial electronic applications requiring durable interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with identical 14-position dual-edge specifications. Verify compatibility with mating cards having the same 0.156-inch pitch and thickness constraints. Alternative manufacturers may offer similar connectors but require validation of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings.
