306-013-521-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-013-521-101 is a dual female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 26 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Constructed with a thermoplastic insulator body, it offers a low-profile design suitable for space-constrained applications. This component supports through-hole termination methods and operates within a standard temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact material and insulation color specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches before procurement. Cross-reference the position count and spacing requirements with system design constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Check for any recent updates in the product series documentation regarding environmental ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-sided interface with 26 positions is required for vertical mounting. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining signal integrity. Consider the gold contact plating for environments demanding high corrosion resistance. Evaluate the low-profile housing dimensions against available panel space. Ensure the thermal plastic insulation meets the operational temperature requirements of the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in card edge connectors for various industrial and commercial applications. The series offers multiple configurations including single and dual edge options with varying position counts. The 306 line is characterized by its reliability in harsh environments and compatibility with standard manufacturing processes. EDAC provides comprehensive support materials including CAD models and detailed dimensional drawings for integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching pin counts and spacing.
