306-012-420-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-420-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 12 positions arranged in a single centerline row. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and is designed to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission and is housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. Rated for 5 A current, it supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle with solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts PCBs with 0.062 inch nominal thickness
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durability
• Low profile insulator body design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm plating type and material specifications. Ensure the target application requires the 0.062 inch board thickness compatibility. Confirm that the single-row configuration meets the interface requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for the project.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row card edge interface is required for 0.062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention with vertical panel mounting. Verify that the 5 A current rating aligns with the electrical load requirements of the connected circuitry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 306-012 variant specifically addresses needs for moderate density connections in a compact form factor, providing a balance between space efficiency and connection reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 306-010-420-104 or 306-030-521-107, provided the position count matches the design. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 0.062 inch board thickness acceptance.
