306-010-421-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-421-101 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 20 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin plating and is housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation. Rated for 5 A current, it supports board thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure board insertion
• Panel mount installation with vertical alignment
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for environmental protection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted vertical applications. The 20-position layout suits moderate-density signal routing. Verify that the tin-plated copper alloy contacts meet the conductivity and corrosion resistance needs of the environment. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C covers the intended operational conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for robust mechanical performance. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate diverse electronic assembly needs. The 306-010-421-101 specifically addresses applications requiring dual-edge connectivity with panel-mount stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series ordering guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or mounting variations. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 3.96 mm pitch card edge connectors only if mechanical and electrical parameters match exactly.
