306-014-521-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-521-101 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge gold finger PCBs. It features a 28-position configuration with a single centerline row of contacts. The connector utilizes a .156 inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of .062 inch (1.57mm). This component employs a solder termination method for secure electrical connections. The insulator body is constructed as a low-profile design, finished in green. It is classified under the 306 series of card edge connectors manufactured by EDAC Inc.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating specifications and contact arrangement. Ensure the target application requires a dual-edge gold finger PCB compatible with the .062 inch thickness specification. Confirm that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical constraints of the assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mating force and insulation resistance values before finalizing procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector is required for a 28-position interface. The .156 inch spacing dictates the PCB trace layout requirements. Consider the low-profile body height if vertical clearance is limited within the enclosure. Verify that the solder termination type matches the available assembly processes for the manufacturing line.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which provides standard card edge connectors for various industrial and commercial applications. The series offers multiple position counts and termination options. EDAC Inc., now part of Northern Technologies, manufactures these components to meet rigorous quality standards for reliable signal transmission in modular electronic systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 28-position dual-row card edge connectors with identical .156 inch spacing and .062 inch board thickness compatibility. Verify mechanical footprint and pinout alignment before substitution. Alternative parts from different manufacturers must match the termination style and insulator material properties.
