306-014-421-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-421-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 28 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in tin plating, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability and insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge insertion
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for robust insulation
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• Electronic module mounting systems
• Signal routing in heavy-duty equipment
• PCB-to-panel interface solutions

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and pin count configurations. Confirm that the tin-plated contact finish meets the environmental and corrosion resistance requirements for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge connection is required for panels. Ensure the mating PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the design layout. Consider the vertical panel mount style for space-constrained enclosures requiring direct board insertion.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse industrial needs. The 306-014-421-102 specifically addresses applications requiring 28-position dual-row connectivity with a standardized 0.156-inch pitch, fitting into broader system architectures using similar EDAC components.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for equivalent parts with different position counts or contact finishes. Direct substitutes must maintain the 3.96 mm pitch and dual female configuration to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the panel interface.
