306-014-420-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-420-102 is a standard card edge connector featuring 14 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. Designed for single-side card edge applications, it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin plating and a green thermoplastic insulator body. It supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle, ensuring secure mechanical connection for electronic assemblies requiring reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts .062" (1.57mm) nominal thickness P.C. board
• Features .156" (3.96mm) contact spacing with single centreline row
• Utilizes low profile insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Single-side card edge interconnection systems
• Panel mounted electronic module interfaces
• General purpose PCB to backplane connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact plating type and material composition. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure design before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface with 14 positions is required for thin-profile circuit boards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard card edge geometries. Verify that the tin-plated copper alloy contacts meet the environmental and conductivity requirements of the application compared to gold-plated alternatives in the same series.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors designed for robust industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch. This specific model represents a single-sided configuration optimized for straightforward vertical panel integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the 306 series include parts with identical 14-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 306-014-420-108 or 306-014-500-102, provided the contact plating and insulator color specifications match the original design requirements.
