306-009-420-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-420-158 is a dual-edge card edge connector designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 18 positions with female contacts arranged in two rows of nine. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and accepts non-specified cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Contact surfaces are tin-plated copper alloy, housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Through-hole termination method for reliable panel mounting
• Tin-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and pitch against design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the target PCB card thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole soldering processes. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Consider the 18-position capacity for signal or power distribution needs. Evaluate the thermal performance limits relative to the operating environment. Compare against other series options if different mounting styles or contact materials are necessary.
