306-010-521-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-010-521-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 20 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated cantilever contacts on a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It accommodates non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with cantilever spring contacts
• Gold-plated termination for reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount design with flange features for secure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications
