306-010-420-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-420-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 10 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Termination is achieved via solder pins using a thermoplastic polyester housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount receptacle design for secure edgeboard connection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides durable insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm contact plating and termination style. Ensure the target application matches the 1.57 mm board thickness specification. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet before integration into regulated assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical card edge interface is required. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard double-sided edgeboards. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets circuit requirements. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments compared to tin alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which offers various mounting styles and row configurations. The series includes options for dual-edge connectors and different contact materials. The 306-010-420-101 specifically represents a single-row, 10-position variant within this standardized lineup.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3.96 mm pitch, 10 position count, and vertical panel mount style. Verify identical housing material and contact plating specifications. Cross-reference with EDAC 306 series variants for compatible mechanical dimensions.
