306-011-500-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-011-500-103 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for standard board applications. It features 22 total positions arranged in two rows of 11 contacts per row, with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes solder eyelet termination methods for secure PCB mounting. Contact materials consist of copper alloy surfaces finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing structural integrity and electrical insulation. This component supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and housing color variants. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required current rating and temperature specifications for the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to confirm availability and lead times prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row card edge interface with 0.156-inch pitch is required. Confirm that the PCB design accommodates the solder eyelet termination style and the physical dimensions of the thermoplastic housing. Evaluate the thermal and electrical requirements to ensure the 5 A current rating and 5 GOhm insulation resistance meet system specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .156-inch contact spacing and wire hole type contacts. The 306 series provides a reliable solution for connecting flexible or rigid circuit boards in various electronic assemblies requiring durable mechanical and electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include part numbers such as 306-011-500-101 or 306-011-500-102, which share identical form factors and pin counts. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints before replacing.
