306-014-400-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-400-158 is a dual-edge card edge connector designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 14 positions with a female contact type and a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) spacing. The connector utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. It accepts printed circuit boards with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with non-specified card compatibility
• Solder eyelet termination for secure PCB mounting
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Communication equipment interface modules
• Consumer electronics internal structural interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct pin count, plating, and orientation specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the specified acceptance range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Check for any updated environmental compliance certifications such as REACH status prior to final procurement approval.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the design accommodates the specific solder eyelet termination style rather than standard surface mount or press-fit options. Verify that the thermal rating of 105°C aligns with the operational environment of the target electronic assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in card edge connectors with 0.156-inch contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and termination styles tailored for industrial and commercial electronics. The 306-014-400-158 specifically addresses needs for low-profile, durable dual-edge connections using tin-plated contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings. Cross-reference compatible parts from Northern Technologies if available, ensuring matching pin configurations and termination types.
