306-013-520-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-520-101 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with 26 positions and a contact pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with a gold finish to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, the connector utilizes a thermoplastic housing and supports PCBs up to 1.57 mm in thickness. It offers an insulation resistance of 5 Gohms and employs cantilever contact types for secure mating.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design provides robust connection stability for double-sided circuit boards
• Gold-plated cantilever contacts ensure low contact resistance and durable mating cycles
• Vertical panel mount style facilitates organized integration into chassis or enclosure systems

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Medical device internal board-to-board linking
• Consumer electronics module assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 26-position dual-edge specification before ordering. Confirm that the receiving PCB thickness does not exceed the 1.57 mm limit to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Ensure that the application environment remains within the thermal and electrical ratings defined by the manufacturer. Cross-reference the suffix codes to confirm the exact contact finish and housing color requirements for your specific design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-edge interface is required for high-density signal routing. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for moderate trace spacing on the host board. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution lines if applicable. The thermoplastic housing offers standard environmental protection suitable for general industrial use. Evaluate the panel mount requirement against available space in the target enclosure design.
