306-009-520-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-520-107 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount installation. It features a dual female configuration with 18 positions arranged in two rows. The contact spacing is 0.156 inches (3.96 mm), and it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing durability and electrical insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic insulator body for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics assembly
• Medical device internal connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your project. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply chains may vary.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 3.96 mm spacing is required. It is suitable for applications needing panel mounting rather than board-to-board connections. Consider the operating temperature range and current ratings relative to the system's power requirements. Verify that the housing color and mechanical dimensions fit within the enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 306-009-520-107 specifically provides a 18-position dual-edge solution. It is part of a broader portfolio that includes single-row and high-temperature variants for diverse electronic integration needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with identical 18-position dual-row specifications. Check for equivalent connectors from other manufacturers that match the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness. Ensure any replacement maintains the same panel mount style and contact plating specifications.
