306-010-420-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-420-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 10 positions and a 3.96 mm pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and terminates via solder pins. It accommodates board thicknesses of 1.57 mm and employs a thermoplastic polyester housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge engagement
• Vertical panel mount installation style for structural stability
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Electronic equipment backplane connections
• Panel-mounted circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact termination and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the 306 series specifications to validate environmental ratings and current capacity requirements for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for single-sided or double-sided card edges. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between contacts. Verify that the thermoplastic polyester housing meets thermal requirements and that the solder pin termination aligns with the assembly process capabilities.

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 306-010-420-102 specifically addresses needs for robust vertical interconnects in industrial settings, providing a standardized interface for modular electronic assemblies requiring durable mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the EDAC 306 series include parts with matching 10-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as the 306-010-421-102. Verify that alternative headers maintain identical panel mount styles and vertical orientations to ensure mechanical fit without redesigning the enclosure.
