306-009-521-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-009-521-107 is a standard card edge connector featuring 18 positions arranged in a single central row. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector employs female contacts with gold plating on copper alloy substrates, housed within a green thermoplastic insulator body designed for low-profile panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single central row configuration for compact board integration
• Gold-plated female contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body reduces overall assembly height

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Communication equipment interconnects
• Industrial control system modules
• Consumer electronic device interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact finish and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the single-row layout aligns with the design requirements before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row card edge interface is required. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing moderate density without excessive board width. Verify that the gold contact finish meets the environmental durability standards for the intended operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations, providing modular solutions for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 306 series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions for broad industry compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants such as 306-011-521-107 or 306-021-521-107 if different pin counts are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 0.156-inch pitch and single-row architecture for mechanical interchangeability.
