306-013-420-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-420-112 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a single row of 13 female contacts with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is green thermoplastic polyester, providing high insulation resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Single centerline row design accommodates dual-edge card connections

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact count and board thickness compatibility before procurement. Confirm that the vertical orientation matches the mechanical assembly requirements. Ensure the gold plating specification meets the environmental corrosion resistance needs of the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 13-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding a low-profile insulator body and robust panel mounting stability. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified tolerance range for optimal contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in handling various board thicknesses and its durable thermoplastic construction. The 306 series is widely used in modular electronic systems requiring reliable vertical interconnections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 13-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and vertical panel mount style. Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants if pin counts differ. Ensure any replacement maintains the same gold-plated contact material and thermoplastic insulator properties.
