306-014-500-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-500-104 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 28 positions arranged in two rows of 14 contacts each. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). Contact surfaces are gold-plated over nickel, ensuring reliable electrical performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure board retention
• Gold-plated terminal surfaces for corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body construction
• Panel mount installation with flanged mounting holes

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• General-purpose electronic assembly connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 306 Series Ordering Guide to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications prior to final procurement decisions. Cross-reference the full part number with official distributor catalogs to validate availability and lead times associated with the specific manufacturing batch.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch requirement for trace routing density. Verify that the operating environment temperatures remain within the -40°C to +105°C operational limits defined by the thermoplastic polyester insulation material.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 306-014-500-104 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a 28-position dual-row interface with robust gold plating and panel-mount stability for industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306/316/356 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Compatible alternatives must match the 28-position dual-edge specification, 0.156-inch pitch, and panel-mount form factor. Verify identical thermal and electrical ratings before substitution.
