Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest documentation provided by EDAC Inc., as regulatory requirements may vary by region and production batch. Cross-reference the Mouser or DigiKey part numbers for accurate sourcing channels.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, single-row card edge connector is required for panels. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification to guarantee proper mechanical retention. Consider the 5 A current rating and 105°C temperature limit for thermal management planning. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the existing circuit board layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-010-520-107 specifically denotes a 10-position variant with gold plating and thermoplastic polyester housing, distinguishing it from higher-temperature PPS variants like the 896 series.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include 306-010-420-107, which shares similar mechanical dimensions but may differ in termination specifics. Always verify pin count, pitch, and mounting orientation before substitution to maintain system integrity.
