Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify specific regional availability as distribution status may vary. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required termination style and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Check for any recent product change notifications affecting material composition or dimensions before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for 28-position interfaces. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates larger signal traces compared to finer pitches. Verify that the dual female configuration aligns with the mating card edge requirements. Consider the -40°C to 105°C operating range for environmental suitability in industrial settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-014-520-103 specifically addresses needs for moderate-density connections with durable metal housing characteristics. It serves as a critical interconnect element within larger electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the 306 series for alternative position counts. Verify identical 0.156-inch pitch and dual female configuration when sourcing substitutes. Ensure replacement units maintain the same vertical panel mount orientation and solder termination method.
