306-008-400-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-008-400-107 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 16 positions (dual row) with a 3.96 mm pitch. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The component utilizes cantilever contacts made of copper alloy, finished with tin plating. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it employs solder eyelet termination. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing a low-profile form factor suitable for space-constrained applications.

• Low profile insulator body optimized for compact assembly requirements
• Vertical panel mount orientation ensures secure mechanical fixation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment interface modules
• Medical device internal board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact finish and housing color variations. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the tin-plated cantilever contacts meet the environmental resistance specifications for the intended operating conditions before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 16-position layout supports moderate density interconnect needs. Verify compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and ensure the panel mount style aligns with the chassis design constraints. Consider the tin contact finish for general-purpose applications rather than high-corrosion environments.
