306-008-400-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-008-400-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 16 positions with a single row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are made of copper alloy with tin plating, rated for 5 A current. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, the housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact plating type and material composition. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental requirements for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The vertical mounting style suits applications where space constraints favor panel-mounted receptacles. Verify that the 5 A current rating aligns with the circuit load requirements. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for environmental suitability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options for general-purpose electronic interconnects. The 306 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic construction and reliable contact performance in standard industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for direct cross-references. Variants such as 306-008-400-107 share similar physical dimensions but may differ in contact plating or compliance status. Verify mechanical compatibility before substitution.
