• Electronic assemblies needing reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 306-011-521-104 part number before procurement, as manufacturer documentation may contain updated dimensional tolerances or material specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal specification to ensure proper mechanical retention and electrical contact. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status in the latest official release to meet regulatory requirements for your target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge female header with 0.156-inch spacing is required for vertical panel mounting applications. Ensure the design accommodates the single centerline row layout and the specified 22-position count. Verify that the operating environment remains within the -40°C to +125°C range and that the 3 A current rating meets the circuit demands. Consider the PPS material properties for thermal stability during soldering processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC standard card edge connector family, characterized by robust construction for industrial environments. The 306 series typically offers low-profile designs suitable for space-constrained applications. The use of polyphenylene sulfide ensures high heat resistance and chemical stability, distinguishing it from lower-grade thermoplastics often found in consumer electronics connectors.
