306-014-421-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-421-101 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 14 positions arranged in a single row with a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The unit accommodates board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37–1.78 mm) and employs solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-sided female contact configuration for reliable signal transmission

• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Medical device circuit board interfaces
• Consumer electronics module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the required card thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations if required for the target market. Cross-reference the Mouser number 587-306-014-421-101 for accurate catalog identification.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 14-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention without high-density constraints. Choose this model over dual-sided variants if only one side of the PCB requires connection. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the target circuit. Consider the green housing color for visual identification during assembly processes.
