306-013-420-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-420-158 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB insertion. It features 26 positions with female contacts arranged in a single row, utilizing a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in tin, the unit employs a low-profile insulator body made from thermoplastic polyester. It supports panel mounting via through-hole termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 26-position count and single-row layout before ordering. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check RoHS3 compliance requirements against project specifications. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets for dimensional verification. Validate that the tin finish meets environmental exposure standards for the intended deployment location.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 26 pins is required for standard thickness boards. Consider the 0.156-inch spacing as a fixed constraint for trace routing. Evaluate the through-hole mounting style against available panel space. Assess the operating temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare the low-profile height against clearance restrictions in the enclosure design.
