306-009-520-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-520-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series. It features 18 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports dual-edge card types. The unit utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts on a green thermoplastic insulator body, designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle. Electrical specifications include a 5 A current rating and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. The connector accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary
