306-014-421-178

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-014-421-178 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 14 positions in a single row. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The component employs female contacts with tin plating on copper alloy substrates, housed within a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Designed for panel mount installation, it supports vertical orientation and solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs
• Features low profile insulator body design
• Utilizes single centerline row configuration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel mounted electronic assemblies
• Vertical interconnection systems
• Standard card edge interface applications

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color attributes. Confirm that the required board thickness aligns with the 0.062 inch nominal specification. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature range. Check for RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row female connection is required for standard thickness boards. The 0.156 inch pitch dictates the trace layout requirements on the mating card. Verify that the panel mounting style matches the mechanical enclosure design. Consider the tin plating option if gold plating is not strictly necessary for the contact resistance requirements.

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 for general interconnect needs. The 306 series typically features thermoplastic polyester housings and supports both single and dual edge configurations depending on the specific model number.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 14-position single-row specifications. Verify identical 0.156 inch pitch and 0.062 inch board thickness compatibility before substitution.
