306-009-500-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-500-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series. It features a single row of 9 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, designed for reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, suitable for through-hole PCB mounting. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single centerline row configuration for compact board integration
• Gold-plated contacts ensure durable electrical connectivity
• Low-profile insulator body reduces overall assembly height

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Standard card edge interconnections
• Industrial control modules
• Telecommunications equipment
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a single-row connector with 0.156-inch pitch. Confirm the PCB thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification to ensure proper contact engagement. Check that the operating environment stays within the specified temperature limits. Ensure the required current rating aligns with the component's capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this part when a low-profile, single-row connection is needed for thin PCBs. The 0.156-inch spacing offers flexibility in trace routing compared to denser pitches. Gold plating provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose applications. Consider the thermoplastic housing material for standard environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its specific 0.156-inch contact spacing and robust construction. It serves as a standard interface solution for connecting edge-board modules to main system backplanes or carrier cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 9-position count, single-row layout, and 0.156-inch pitch. Verify compatibility with 0.062-inch board thickness. Cross-reference pinout and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
