306-011-420-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-011-420-101 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 22 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Termination is achieved via solder pins, and contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating. The insulator body is made of green thermoplastic polyester, providing a low-profile design suitable for dense electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board retention
• Low profile insulator body construction
• Vertical panel mount installation style
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

• Automotive electronic assembly interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and termination type. Confirm that the dual female configuration aligns with the mating card edge requirements. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory standards for the target market. Ensure panel mounting hardware matches the connector's flange specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-sided connection is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard signal routing densities. Gold plating ensures durability in high-cycle environments. Verify that the 22-position count meets the circuit interface needs without requiring additional connectors or complex wiring harnesses.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which offers various position counts and configurations for card edge applications. The series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic housing and standardized 0.156-inch spacing. It serves as a reliable solution for connecting daughter cards to motherboards in structured electronic systems requiring mechanical stability and electrical integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different termination or plating options. Cross-series replacements require matching the 3.96 mm spacing and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before integrating alternative manufacturers' components.
