306-010-521-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-521-107 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 20 positions arranged in a single centerline row. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating, while the housing is made of thermoplastic polyester.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Low profile insulator body design
• Vertical orientation for panel mounting integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• General electronic instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm that the received part matches the specific 306 series designation and 20-position count. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements as specified in the official datasheet. Request original manufacturer documentation to validate material composition and plating standards before final procurement approval.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board thicknesses. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified temperature range. Ensure mating PCB dimensions align precisely with the 1.57 mm acceptance tolerance to guarantee reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations tailored for different board densities. The 306-010-521-107 specifically addresses needs for moderate-density connections requiring robust panel mounting capabilities and durable gold-plated contacts for repeated insertion cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include variants with different position counts such as 306-011-521-107 or 306-030-521-107, provided the pin count matches the design requirement. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch and board thickness compatibility.
