306-008-420-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-008-420-112 is a dual-edge female card edge connector with 16 positions arranged in two rows of eight. It features a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are tin-plated copper alloy with a green thermoplastic polyester housing. Designed for panel mount installation via through-hole soldering, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified double-sided card insertion
• Through-hole solder termination ensures secure PCB attachment
• Tin-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulation offers environmental stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Consumer electronics module integration
• Medical device circuit board assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official catalog to confirm pin count, plating type, and orientation. Ensure compatibility with target board thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and MSL rating with project requirements. Confirm that the panel mount style matches the mechanical design constraints of the final enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-edge female connector is required for standard thickness boards. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing moderate density without high-speed signal constraints. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose use rather than high-cycle mating environments. Verify that the green housing color meets visual identification standards for the assembly line.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which provides extensive customization options for card edge connectors. The series supports various row counts, pitches, and termination styles to meet diverse interconnect needs. EDAC designs these components for durability in industrial and commercial environments, offering both standard and custom configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Evaluate cross-referencing only if exact electrical and mechanical parameters match. Consult the manufacturer for direct equivalents or updated series replacements.
