Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count and mechanical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the dual-edge female gender matches the system design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26-position dual-edge interface is required with 0.156-inch spacing. Consider the panel mount style and through-hole termination method for integration. Evaluate the thermal rating and gold plating thickness against the operational environment constraints to ensure long-term reliability.

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 options. The 306-013 variant specifically provides 26 positions, distinguishing it from other series members like the 306-007 or 306-030 which differ in pin count and physical dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and spacing, such as the 306-013-520-158. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications before swapping components to maintain system integrity.
