306-012-400-178

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-400-178 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies. It features a dual female configuration with 24 positions arranged across two rows. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Termination is achieved through soldering, ensuring secure electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration provides robust connection points for double-sided card edges.
• Solder termination method ensures stable mechanical and electrical attachment to printed circuit boards.
• Constructed with thermoplastic polyester insulation for durability and environmental resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 24-position dual female specification. Confirm that the supplier documentation explicitly states RoHS3 compliance and identifies the manufacturer as EDAC Inc. Ensure the ordering suffix corresponds to the correct termination style and material composition before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 0.156-inch pitch is required for double-sided card edge applications. It is suitable for designs needing through-hole solder termination with a straight mounting orientation. Consider its thermal polyester housing and copper alloy contacts for general-purpose industrial or commercial environments requiring standard reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-012-400-178 specifically addresses needs for 24-position dual-row connectivity with a 3.96 mm spacing, fitting within the broader portfolio of edgeboard connectors used in modular electronic systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 306-012-420-178 and 306-012-520-178. Verify that any replacement maintains the identical 24-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual female contact type to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
