Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating, insulator color, and mounting style match project requirements. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Check manufacturer documentation for updated RoHS compliance status and lead times prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the application supports vertical panel mounting and utilizes a single-row contact layout. Verify that the PCB design accommodates the specified 0.062-inch thickness for proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance.

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 options. The 306-007 variant specifically provides a compact 7-position solution suitable for applications requiring moderate I/O density in a small form factor.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for verified substitute part numbers within the 306 series or compatible families. Ensure any replacement maintains identical pitch, contact configuration, and mounting style.
