306-012-520-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-520-108 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 12 positions with a single centerline row. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A current, housed in a green thermoplastic insulator. Designed for vertical panel mounting, it supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C and maintains an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Low-profile insulator body design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount configuration with flush mount flange features

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board thicknesses
• Test and measurement devices needing high-reliability connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact flange and termination specifications. Ensure the target application accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness requirements. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to validate availability and lead times prior to procurement planning.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row header with 12 positions is required for vertical panel installation. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatibility with corresponding card edge PCBs. Verify that the thermal environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational limits. Consider the thermoplastic housing material properties for chemical resistance needs in the intended deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 306-012-520-108 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a 12-position interface with vertical panel mounting capabilities and gold-plated contact finishes for enhanced durability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult EDAC official substitution lists for direct replacements. Generic equivalents may differ in flange dimensions or board thickness tolerances. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
