306-012-521-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-012-521-108 is a standard card edge connector designed for through-hole termination. It features 12 positions arranged in a single row with female contacts. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and is compatible with board thicknesses of 1.57mm. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, while the contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row configuration with female contact type for secure mating
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic insulator housing providing structural stability
• Through-hole termination method for robust PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Standard card edge interconnects
• Industrial control modules
• Consumer electronic circuit boards
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB's board thickness and hole dimensions. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental compliance requirements with project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 12-position interface is required with a 3.96mm pitch. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the assembly process. Validate that the thermoplastic insulation and gold contact finish meet the electrical and environmental performance criteria for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC standard card edge connector series, which offers extensive design options for interconnect needs. The 306 series typically provides various configurations tailored for different board thicknesses and contact arrangements, supporting diverse industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable edge-mounted connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12-position count, single-row layout, 0.156-inch pitch, and through-hole termination. Verify identical mechanical dimensions and contact material specifications to ensure functional interchangeability without redesigning the PCB footprint.
