306-012-400-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-400-103 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting applications. This dual-row female connector features 24 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). It utilizes tin-plated contacts and is constructed with a green thermoplastic insulator body. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration providing 24 total connection points
• Vertical panel mount design for secure installation
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal PCB thickness

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific plating material, as some sources indicate tin while others suggest gold variants exist within the series. Confirm that the dual-row specification matches your board layout requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental conditions. Check RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row interface is required for 0.062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible mating card dimensions. Consider the vertical orientation for space-constrained panel installations. Verify that the current rating and insulation resistance meet system electrical specifications. Compare against single-row alternatives if fewer connections are sufficient.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 306-012-400-103 specifically addresses high-density dual-row needs. It complements other EDAC headers and sockets in modular electronic assembly designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The 307-012-556-204 is a related EDAC part but differs by being a single-row connector. Verify row count compatibility before substitution. Other 306 series variants may share mechanical dimensions but differ in contact plating or position count.
