306-010-500-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-500-102 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 20 positions arranged in a single centerline row. The contact spacing is 3.96 mm (0.156 inches), and it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, providing reliable electrical performance. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material, offering a low-profile design suitable for space-constrained installations.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm all mechanical dimensions and material specifications before integration. Ensure that the mating PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm requirement for proper engagement. Confirm that the panel cutout dimensions align with the connector's mounting requirements to ensure structural integrity during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 20 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch is suitable for high-current applications due to the robust contact design. Consider the vertical orientation and panel mount style if space constraints or specific enclosure designs necessitate these features over surface-mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to accommodate different interface needs. The 306 series is known for its reliability in industrial environments, utilizing durable materials and precise manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent performance across diverse applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and pitch but different mounting styles or termination types. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and panel cutouts when considering alternative models from the 306 series or other manufacturers with similar specifications.
