306-010-400-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-400-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. This dual-edge female receptacle features 20 positions arranged in a single row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. It utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and is rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, accommodating a board thickness of 1.57 mm, and employs solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure card edge insertion
• Vertical panel mount design for stable structural integration
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides environmental protection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating finish against project requirements, as datasheets may list variations such as tin or gold-nickel depending on the exact suffix. Confirm that the 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance aligns with the target PCB specifications to ensure proper mechanical retention and electrical contact integrity during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, vertically mounted dual-edge connector is required for high-density signal routing. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between spacing and density suitable for industrial environments. Ensure the mating card edge thickness matches the specified 1.57 mm limit to prevent mechanical stress or poor connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series provides reliable interconnection solutions for various industries, emphasizing durability and precise alignment through its panel-mountable design and standardized pitch dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The 306-010-421-108 is a comparable variant within the same series but differs in contact plating and potentially other physical attributes. Verify compatibility before substitution.
