306-013-420-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-420-108 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series. It features 26 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch, designed for dual-edge female mating. The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester housing. Rated for 5 A current, it supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle. The connector accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm and employs solder pin termination for secure PCB attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design for robust card edge interface
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability
• Vertical panel mount configuration simplifies assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and housing material against the latest manufacturer datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 1.57 mm board thickness requirement aligns with your PCB design specifications. Ensure the vertical panel mount orientation matches the mechanical enclosure constraints. Cross-reference the 26-position layout with the target circuit diagram to prevent pinout mismatches during procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current 5 A rating is required for dual-edge connections. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between signal lines. Consider the vertical panel mount style if space efficiency in the Z-axis is critical. Verify compatibility with the target card's edge conductor width and tolerance requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-013-420-108 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge female receptacles with gold contacts. It complements other 306 series variants differing in position count or termination type.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC 306-010-421-108 and 306-010-420-107, which share similar electrical ratings but differ in position count. Verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution.
