306-013-520-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-520-107 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 26 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing an insulating resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Low profile insulator body design for compact assembly
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard PCB form factors
• Test and measurement devices needing high-reliability connections
• Automotive electronics modules with specific thickness requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches before integration. Confirm that the panel mount hole pattern matches the mechanical drawing specifications. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or lead time updates directly with authorized suppliers prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for a 26-position interface. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications where standard spacing is necessary. Consider the 5 A current rating against the total load requirements. Verify that the vertical panel mount style fits within the enclosure constraints. Compare against single-row alternatives if space optimization is critical.

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. The 306-013-520-107 specifically addresses the need for a 26-position dual-edge solution. It complements other parts in the lineup by providing a standardized interface for thicker PCBs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching pin counts and pitch. Cross-brand replacements require verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings. Ensure the replacement maintains the dual female contact type and panel mount capability.
