306-013-420-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-420-103 is a dual female card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for panel mount and through-hole installation. It features 26 positions arranged in two rows of 13 contacts with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) spacing. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin plating and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for non-specified double-sided card applications
• Solder pin termination ensures secure PCB attachment
• Flanged design with flush mounting and top opening for easy insertion

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and insulation color specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target card thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions align with the flange diameter and mounting hole placement defined in the official mechanical drawing.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current capable connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required. The tin-plated contacts offer reliable performance in standard environments. Consider the 306 series family for consistent mechanical interfaces across varying position counts while maintaining identical mounting and spacing characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for durability and versatility. The series offers various position counts and termination options, all sharing common mechanical footprints and spacing standards to simplify design reuse across different product lines.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 26-position dual female configurations and 0.156-inch spacing, such as 306-013-420-104, provided the contact plating difference is acceptable.
