306-012-500-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-500-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing arranged in a single centerline row. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). It accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing a low-profile design suitable for space-constrained applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Low-profile insulator body made of thermoplastic polyester
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions such as ventilators and CPAP machines
• Ambulance medical equipment connections
• General purpose board-to-board or board-to-backplane interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with your PCB thickness and mounting requirements. Confirm that the manufacturer's standard packaging quantity aligns with your production volume needs. Check for RoHS3 compliance status if required by your environmental regulations. Ensure the lead time matches your project schedule as availability may vary.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required. It is suitable for applications needing a low-profile design with robust gold-plated contacts. Consider the 24-position count and single-row layout for your circuit density. Verify that the thermoplastic polyester insulation meets your thermal and mechanical constraints.
