306-014-520-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-520-102 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 28 positions arranged in a single row with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator. It supports a current rating of 5A and offers an insulation resistance of 5 Gohms. The unit is intended for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, accommodating a board thickness of 1.57mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required 28-position count and 0.156-inch pitch. Confirm that the green insulator color aligns with visual identification requirements. Check RoHS compliance documentation for regulatory adherence. Validate panel mounting hole specifications against chassis design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for boards with a 1.57mm thickness. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between contacts. Verify that the vertical orientation fits within the available enclosure depth. Ensure the 5A current rating meets the circuit load requirements. Confirm compatibility with existing tooling for panel installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This model belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series includes various configurations for single and dual-edge applications. The 306 series is widely used in industrial and medical sectors requiring robust interconnects. Similar models in the series differ by position count and pitch dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 28-position counts and 0.156-inch pitches. Verify that alternative dual-edge connectors maintain the same 1.57mm board thickness tolerance. Ensure replacement units support vertical panel mounting without mechanical interference.
