306-010-400-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-010-400-112 is a standard card edge connector classified as a receptacle within the 306 series. It features 10 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inch). The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). It utilizes a single row configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic insulator material, designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle. The device supports a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and mounting style. Confirm that the single-row configuration meets the design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status against project specifications. Ensure the solder pin termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities. Validate the thermal rating against the operational environment constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row card edge interface is required for 0.062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch provides adequate spacing for standard signal routing. Consider the vertical orientation for space-constrained panel applications. Verify that the 5 A current rating satisfies the electrical load requirements of the connected circuitry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations including different row counts, termination styles, and mounting options. The 306 series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics requiring robust mechanical connections between edgeboards and host systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 10-position count and 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same 0.062 inch board thickness acceptance. Verify identical vertical panel mount orientation and solder pin termination type before substitution.
