306-008-520-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-008-520-101 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features an 8-position, single-row female configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports a board thickness of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and low contact resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides stable mechanical support and electrical insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Consumer electronics internal circuit board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the single-row configuration and green insulator color, as the 306 series includes dual-row variants. Confirm the 3.96 mm pitch requirement aligns with the target PCB design. Ensure the through-hole solder termination method is compatible with the assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against distributor listings to confirm current availability status.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 8-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications needing gold-plated contacts for durability. Consider the through-hole mounting style and specified operating temperature range. Compare against dual-row alternatives if higher density is needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 306-008-520-101 specifically denotes the 8-position single-row variant with a 3.96 mm pitch and green housing, distinguishing it from other series members like the 306-008-521-101.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC 306-008-520-102, which shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications but features a black insulator instead of green. Verify that color coding differences do not impact system identification requirements before substitution.
