306-010-420-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-420-108 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for panel mount applications. It features a vertical orientation with a 3.96 mm pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component provides 10 positions in a single row configuration, utilizing gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, it employs solder pin termination for secure PCB attachment. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, offering durability and insulation properties suitable for industrial electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount receptacle design for stable integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for structural integrity
• Solder pin termination for secure PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Panel-mounted electronic instrumentation
• Standard card edge interface modules
• High-reliability circuit board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm contact plating and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target board thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 10-position layout aligns with the PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style meets the enclosure constraints. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount card edge solution is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure the application environment supports the thermoplastic polyester housing material and that the 5 A current rating suffices for the load. Verify that the single-row, 10-position configuration matches the signal count. Confirm that the solder pin termination method is compatible with the assembly process and that the gold plating meets corrosion resistance needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-010-420-108 specifically denotes a 10-position variant with gold contacts and a thermoplastic polyester body. It is distinct from high-temperature variants like the 846 series, which use different housing materials such as Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) and feature lower current ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 306-010-421-108, which shares identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings but may differ in contact plating or packaging details. Verify exact equivalence by consulting the official datasheet before substitution.
