306-012-400-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-400-102 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 24 positions arranged in a dual female configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a single centerline row design. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Constructed with copper alloy contacts and gold plating, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The housing is made from thermoplastic polyester, providing durability for panel mount applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Single centerline row layout simplifies PCB routing
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical interconnection
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard thickness PCBs
• Communication equipment backplanes needing robust card edge interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact count and termination style match project requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure panel mounting hardware compatibility with the vertical installation orientation specified in the datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a 3.96 mm pitch is required for high-current or signal integrity applications. The dual female design accommodates standard 1.57 mm board thicknesses commonly used in industrial electronics. Verify that the single centerline row aligns with the PCB trace layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .156 inch spacing and low-profile insulator bodies designed for panel mount installations. The 306 series offers various position counts to support diverse interface requirements within standardized form factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants such as 306-012-421-102 for identical mechanical dimensions but different termination styles. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness acceptance criteria.
