306-009-420-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-420-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for panel mount applications. It features a single row with 9 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm (0.054" to 0.070"). Contact materials are copper alloy, with gold plating on the mating area and tin plating with nickel underplating on the tails. It has a current rating of 5 amps and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms maximum. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-plated contact system providing gold plating for reliable signal transmission and tin plating with nickel underplating for solder tail durability.
• Thermoplastic polyester housing offers structural integrity and environmental protection for standard card edge applications.
• Panel mount vertical installation style ensures secure positioning within equipment enclosures.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or official manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific plating requirements against project specifications. Ensure panel mounting hardware compatibility with the connector's flange dimensions prior to procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a 9-position single-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the 5 amp current rating and operating temperature limits when designing the thermal management strategy for the connection point.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The 306-009-420-101 specifically addresses needs for low-count, high-reliability connections in panel-mounted configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants for different position counts or plating options. Ensure substitute parts maintain identical pitch, board thickness tolerance, and mounting style to preserve mechanical fit and electrical performance.
