306-013-421-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-421-102 is a standard card edge connector header within the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a single row of 13 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy and gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission, while the housing utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation. Rated for 5 A current, it supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and orientation against the mechanical drawing before integration. Confirm that the mating card edge thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm tolerance. Ensure the gold plating specification meets the required conductivity standards for the intended electrical load. Cross-reference the panel mount hole dimensions to guarantee proper fit during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row connection is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical stability without excessive board space consumption. Verify that the 5 A rating accommodates the maximum current draw of the connected circuitry. Consider the vertical mounting style for chassis or panel integration scenarios.

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 to accommodate different interface requirements. The 306-013-421-102 specifically addresses needs for 13-position connections with a 3.96 mm pitch. It complements other parts in the lineup by providing a standardized solution for vertical panel mounting applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC 306-012-420-102 and 306-030-521-107, which share similar series characteristics. Verify that alternative parts match the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness requirements. Ensure the replacement maintains the same vertical panel mount configuration and current rating specifications.
