306-009-420-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-420-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 9 positions with a single centerline row. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs tin-plated copper alloy contacts for termination via solder pins, ensuring reliable electrical connections. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, the housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester. This connector supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts nominal 1.57 mm thick PCBs
• Vertical panel mount configuration
• Single row centerline contact arrangement

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Electronic equipment backplane assemblies
• General-purpose board-to-board connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 9-position count and single-row configuration. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the tin plating specification meets the corrosion resistance requirements of the operating environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile, single-row interface is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention without excessive height. Consider the vertical mounting style for space-constrained panels where direct board insertion is preferred over horizontal stacking.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate diverse electronic assembly needs. The 306 series is characterized by its durable thermoplastic construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating integration into broader connector ecosystems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants for different position counts. Verify dimensional compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents. Ensure mating PCB specifications align with the 1.57 mm thickness requirement.
