306-013-520-168

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-520-168 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 15 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting at a straight angle, it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, the component utilizes a thermoplastic polyester insulator body. This single-row configuration supports secure vertical insertion into mating card edge assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm pin count, contact plating thickness, and termination style. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness and mounting orientation. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm availability and compliance with current RoHS directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row, low-profile interface is required for 1.57 mm thick cards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing moderate density without high-density constraints. Verify that the straight mounting angle aligns with the chassis design. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the target circuit application.
