306-013-421-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-421-107 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 26 positions arranged in two rows of 13 contacts each. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contact plating is specified as tin over copper alloy, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing structural integrity and electrical insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Low profile insulator body design for compact assembly requirements
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for durable environmental resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• Embedded system backplane connections
• Telecommunications equipment module mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and row configuration, as variations exist within the 306 series. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check current availability status through authorized distributors, as lead times may vary based on manufacturing schedules. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted assemblies. The tin-plated contacts offer a cost-effective solution compared to gold variants while maintaining adequate conductivity. Consider the 26-position capacity relative to the circuit density needs. Verify that the vertical panel mount style matches the enclosure design constraints and mating interface requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse connectivity needs. The 306-013-421-107 specifically addresses applications requiring dual-edge access with a standardized pitch, fitting into the broader ecosystem of EDAC's interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 26-position dual female configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Cross-brand replacements must verify identical pitch, board thickness tolerance, and contact plating specifications to maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility.
