306-011-420-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-011-420-103 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mount installation. It features a dual female configuration with 22 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with tin plating, rated for 5 A current. The housing utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation, supporting PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating and housing material variations. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance and mounting style. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to confirm availability status and RoHS compliance documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface is required for vertical panel integration. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the target printed circuit board layout. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure operation within the specified -40°C to +105°C range. Verify that the tin-plated contact finish meets the environmental corrosion requirements for the intended application scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, a line of standard card edge connectors established by a manufacturer founded in 1966. The series provides extensive design options for rack and panel applications across computing, medical, and industrial sectors. The 306 series is characterized by its versatility in position counts and mounting configurations, serving as a foundational interconnect solution for OEMs requiring robust board-to-panel connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 306-011-420-104, which differs primarily in contact plating specifications. Other compatible variants may exist within the broader 306 family depending on required pitch and position count adjustments. Always validate mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against the original design requirements before substituting.
