306-011-520-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-011-520-101 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 22 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. It supports a PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing insulation resistance of 5 gigaohms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, contact finish, and mounting style compatibility. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified mechanical limits. Confirm that the operating temperature requirements align with the component's rated range before finalizing procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge female interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the gold plating for environments requiring oxidation resistance. Verify that the panel mount style fits the enclosure design constraints. Ensure the copper alloy contact material meets the current carrying capacity needs of the application circuit.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 306-011-520-101 specifically provides a 22-position dual-edge configuration. It is part of a broader family of interconnect solutions designed for robust electronic module integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts by matching the 22-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that substitute components support the same PCB thickness range and panel mount style. Ensure equivalent contact material and plating specifications are maintained for performance parity.
