306-014-521-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-014-521-107 is a standard card edge connector featuring 14 positions in a single row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. Designed for non-specified dual-edge printed circuit boards, it accommodates a nominal board thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. It supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts non-specified dual-edge printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm
• Features low-profile insulator body construction for space-constrained applications
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing vertical mounting solutions

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thicknesses and contact plating specifications. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended application environment regarding temperature ratings and current load requirements. Cross-reference the part number with the latest EDAC documentation to validate availability and compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical-mount card edge connector is required for dual-edge PCBs. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints. Verify that the 5 A current rating and operating temperature range meet the system's electrical and environmental demands. Consider the gold plating option if enhanced corrosion resistance or lower contact resistance is necessary for the specific application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors, which are designed for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse PCB layout requirements. As a single-row header, it provides a compact solution for connecting edge-board modules to backplanes or chassis-mounted receptacles in industrial and commercial hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or plating options. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB stack-ups before substituting. Ensure that any alternative part maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and board thickness tolerance to guarantee proper mating and electrical performance.
