306-010-420-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-420-103 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 10 positions arranged in two rows, providing a total of 20 contact points. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports printed circuit boards with thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Constructed with thermoplastic polyester insulation and copper alloy contacts finished with tin plating, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is RoHS compliant.

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for durable insulation
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• High-density electronic module mounting
• Vertical board-to-board interface systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating type, and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for precise dimensional tolerances and mating force characteristics to prevent assembly issues.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 10-position card edge interface is required for panel-mounted assemblies. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard edge board widths. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions. Consider the tin plating finish for general-purpose applications rather than high-wear cycling scenarios.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations for diverse connectivity needs. The 306-010-420-103 specifically addresses compact dual-row requirements with robust panel mounting capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 3.96 mm pitch, 20-pin dual female layout, and panel mount form factor. Verify identical PCB thickness tolerance ranges and operating temperature specifications. Consult EDAC cross-reference guides for equivalent series parts with compatible mechanical interfaces.
