Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details before procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and housing color specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or availability limitations in your location prior to finalizing purchase orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the PCB design accommodates the specified 1.57 mm nominal thickness. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs. Confirm panel mount requirements align with the vertical installation style.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and contact configurations. The 306-011-421-108 specifically provides a 22-position dual female layout. It shares common design traits like the 3.96 mm pitch and thermoplastic polyester construction with other parts in the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 306-010-421-108 for single-sided alternatives. Compare with 306-043-421-104 for higher position count options. Verify identical 3.96 mm pitch and mounting style for direct substitution.
