306-013-421-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-421-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for standard PCB applications. It features 26 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96mm). The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester and finished in green. Contacts are copper alloy with tin plating, rated for 5 A current. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm) and utilizes a low-profile insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Low-profile insulator body design
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Standard card edge interconnect systems
• Industrial control panel connections
• General electronic equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and mounting style. Confirm that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental requirements for the intended application. Cross-reference the 26-position count and 0.156-inch pitch with the mechanical drawing to prevent assembly errors during integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required for standard thickness boards. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the thermal limits of the tin-plated contacts. Consider the low-profile body height if vertical clearance is constrained within the enclosure design.
