306-011-520-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-011-520-102 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 accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The housing is green thermoplastic, offering low profile and vertical panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for secure board retention
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance
• Low profile insulator body minimizes spatial requirements
• Vertical panel mount configuration simplifies assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board thicknesses
• Test and measurement devices needing high-density connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a dual-edge connector rather than single-edge variants within the same series. Confirm that the PCB thickness matches the specified 0.062-inch nominal dimension to ensure proper contact engagement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compatibility with existing panel mounting hardware before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 22-position interface with 3.96 mm spacing is required. Choose the dual-edge variant over single-edge options if enhanced mechanical stability is necessary. Consider the 5 A current rating against load requirements. Verify that the green thermoplastic housing meets environmental constraints for the intended installation environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and edge configurations. The 306-011-520-102 specifically addresses applications needing 22 positions with dual-edge support. It complements other series like 392 and 846 which offer different spacings and temperature ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 22 positions and dual-edge designs. Cross-reference part numbers such as 306-033-520-102 for similar specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness acceptance criteria.
