306-010-421-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-421-112 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 contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with a tin plating finish to ensure reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design accommodates non-specified board types
• Vertical panel mount installation for secure positioning
• Low-profile insulator body reduces overall assembly height

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified 0.062-inch nominal requirement to ensure proper contact engagement. Confirm that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental corrosion resistance needs of the deployment site. Ensure panel mounting holes match the connector's flange specifications for stable mechanical integration during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-edge connection is required for thicker PCBs up to 0.062 inches. The 3.96 mm pitch suits high-density layouts where larger spacing aids manufacturing tolerance. Tin plating offers cost-effective conductivity for general-purpose applications without requiring gold finishes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors for robust industrial use. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse electronic module designs. The 306-010-421-112 specifically addresses the need for dual-sided connectivity with a standardized pitch.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 306-series variants such as 306-010-421-102 or 306-010-421-104 if different position counts or plating materials are required. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 0.062-inch board thickness compatibility.
