306-012-521-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-521-104 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for board-to-board or backplane interconnections. It features 24 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator, supporting a PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C, it offers reliable signal transmission in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm plating thickness and material variations. Ensure compatibility with target PCB stack-up dimensions before ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Cross-reference lead times with authorized distributors as standard delivery periods may fluctuate based on production schedules.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.96mm pitch dual-edge interface is required for moderate pin counts. Evaluate thermal requirements against the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Consider the panel mount form factor for applications requiring rigid structural support. Compare against alternative series if different pitch or single-edge configurations are needed.
