306-008-400-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-008-400-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring a single centerline row with 16 positions. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts terminated via solder pins for secure board attachment. Designed for panel mount installation, it offers vertical orientation and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 16-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing than standard 0.100-inch designs. Verify that the target assembly supports solder pin termination and accommodates the specified board thickness constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series focuses on low-profile insulator bodies designed for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The 306 series provides various position counts and mounting options to support diverse industrial and commercial PCB integration requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains identical 0.156-inch spacing, 16-position count, and vertical panel mount orientation.
