306-012-421-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-421-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. Designed for dual-edge non-specified cards, it utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing. The component supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle with solder pin termination. It accommodates board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure mating with printed circuit boards
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination for stable mechanical attachment
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation providing structural integrity and electrical isolation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Computer peripheral interface modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm plating type and contact finish specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required thermal rating and environmental compliance standards for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Verify that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the chassis design constraints and that the tin-plated contacts meet the conductivity requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-012-421-104 specifically denotes a 24-position dual-edge receptacle with tin plating, distinguishing it from gold-plated or single-row variants within the same product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with identical 24-position dual-edge configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Cross-reference the specific suffix codes to ensure matching contact finishes and housing colors before substitution.
