306-010-521-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-521-103 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 20 positions in a single row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission and is housed in a thermoplastic polyester insulator body. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, it offers a low-profile form factor suitable for space-constrained applications.
