Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 306 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and flange configuration. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the specified operational range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for your assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the application environment temperature remains within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Consider the physical dimensions of the flange and threaded insert requirements during mechanical design integration to guarantee proper fitment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-011-500-158 specifically denotes a 22-position variant with gold plating and a standard flange configuration, widely used in general-purpose industrial and commercial electronic assemblies requiring robust edgeboard connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants such as 306-007-521-158 or 306-030-521-158 for different position counts. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 0.156-inch pitch and dual-edge female contact type to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
