Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating thickness and contact material variations. Ensure the target PCB design accommodates the specified 1.57 mm thickness limit and 3.96 mm pitch. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 14-position connection is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard edge board widths. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit requirements and that the thermoplastic housing withstands the operational temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-014-420-101 specifically addresses needs for moderate density connections in industrial and commercial electronics sectors requiring reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with identical pitch and position counts but different suffixes indicating variant plating or packaging. Cross-series replacements require matching the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints.
