306-014-400-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-400-107 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a single centerline row with 28 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Constructed with a low-profile thermoplastic insulator body, it utilizes copper alloy contacts plated with tin to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating material against project requirements, as distributor listings may indicate variations such as tin or gold finishes for this part number. Confirm that the single-row header configuration aligns with the mating card edge design. Ensure the vertical orientation and panel mount footprint are compatible with the enclosure constraints before finalizing the procurement order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-density connection is required for standard thickness boards. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for fewer pins in a given length compared to finer pitches, simplifying layout. Consider the thermal and mechanical stability provided by the thermoplastic housing for environments requiring durable physical connections without complex locking mechanisms.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in handling various board thicknesses and its suitability for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The 306 series provides a balance between density and ease of assembly for panel-mounted applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 306-010-420-107 and 306-033-521-107, which share the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility but differ in position count. Verify that the pin count matches the circuit design requirements when swapping between these variants.
