306-011-500-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. part number 306-011-500-112 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for vertical panel mounting applications. This component features an 11-position configuration with dual female contacts arranged in a single row. The contact spacing is specified at 0.156 inches (3.96 mm), and the unit is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission, while the insulator body utilizes thermoplastic material for structural integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for enhanced conductivity
• Low profile insulator body design for space-constrained installations
• Vertical panel mount orientation for fixed positioning

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Computer peripheral module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact termination style and plating specifications. Confirm that the board thickness tolerance aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal requirement to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check regional distribution availability as some suppliers may indicate limited stock or restricted sales regions for this specific manufacturer part number.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount card edge interface is required with 11 positions. Ensure the mating PCB has a thickness compatible with the 0.062-inch specification. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch when designing the layout. Verify that the dual female contact type meets the electrical and mechanical requirements of the target application compared to alternative single-row or surface-mount options.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 306-011-500-112 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a robust, vertically mounted interface with gold-plated reliability for stable electrical connections in professional hardware systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series parts sharing the same 0.156-inch pitch and 11-position count. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and panel cutouts before substitution. Ensure that any alternative component maintains the same dual female contact configuration and gold plating specifications to preserve performance integrity.
