306-010-500-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-500-158 is a dual female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 20 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, utilizing a cantilever spring design for reliable engagement. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester and is green in color. This component accepts printed circuit boards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration with cantilever spring terminals for secure board retention.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durable electrical performance.
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides structural stability and environmental resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces.
• Communication equipment utilizing standard PCB form factors.
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing reliable vertical interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pin count, pitch, and termination style match your design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by your assembly specifications before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row female interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. It is suitable for applications demanding through-hole or panel mount installation. Consider the cantilever contact type for ease of insertion and removal. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified operational range to ensure proper mechanical fit.
