306-015-400-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-015-400-104 is a card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount installation with through-hole termination. It features a dual female configuration with 15 positions arranged in two rows, providing a total of 30 contacts. 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). The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester and is colored green. Contacts are made of copper alloy with a tin plating finish, ensuring reliable electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Panel mount design with flange for stable mechanical support
• Through-hole solder termination for robust PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a dual-row female connector with 15 positions per side. Confirm the printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range to ensure proper contact engagement. Ensure the mounting environment supports panel installation methods compatible with the provided flange dimensions. Check for any specific environmental certifications required by the end product.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connection is needed for single-sided or double-sided edge cards. The 306 series offers a standardized footprint suitable for various industrial applications. Consider the tin-plated contacts for general-purpose use where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Evaluate the thermal operating range of -40°C to 105°C against the expected operational conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides a range of position counts and configurations for diverse connectivity needs. The 306-043 base number indicates the fundamental form factor, while suffixes define specific variations such as contact count, plating, and orientation. This model represents a common configuration within the broader family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 30-position dual female specifications. Verify that alternative models maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and compatible board thickness range. Cross-reference mechanical drawings to ensure flange dimensions and mounting hole patterns align with existing panel designs.
