306-012-500-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-500-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 12 positions in a single row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. It utilizes gold plating on the mating area and tin plating with nickel underplating on the tails, ensuring reliable conductivity. The component supports a current rating of 5 amps and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it employs solder pin termination for secure attachment.

• Standard card edge interface systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required plating configuration, as variations may exist within the series. Confirm the physical dimensions against the target PCB layout to ensure compatibility with the 1.57 mm board thickness specification. Cross-reference the contact count and row configuration to prevent integration errors during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row vertical connector is required for 1.57 mm thick circuit boards. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operational temperature range. Verify that the 5 amp current rating meets the electrical requirements of the signal lines. Confirm that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical housing design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors designed for robust industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different system architectures. Components in this family are engineered for durability and consistent electrical performance across diverse operating conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching pitch and position counts. Verify that alternative parts support the same 1.57 mm board thickness and vertical panel mount orientation. Ensure equivalent current ratings and termination methods are maintained.
