306-015-400-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. part number 306-015-400-112 is a dual-edge female edgeboard connector designed for vertical board-to-board applications. It features 30 positions with a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes tin-plated contacts made from copper alloy, providing a current rating of 5 A. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, suitable for card thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure vertical mating with double-sided circuit boards.
• Constructed with copper alloy contacts and tin plating for reliable signal transmission.
• Housing manufactured from thermoplastic polyester for structural stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Vertical interconnection in industrial control systems.
• Signal routing in telecommunications equipment.
• Board-to-board connections in consumer electronics assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish and housing color against the manufacturer's latest datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the receiving board thickness falls within the specified range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches to ensure proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector is required for vertical mounting. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.156-inch pitch and 30-position count. Verify compatibility with the target PCB material and thermal requirements during the initial design phase.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of edgeboard connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for different board thicknesses. The 306-015-400-112 specifically addresses applications requiring a 30-position interface with standard 0.156-inch spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 30-position dual-edge female connectors with identical 0.156-inch pitch and compatible housing materials. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications to ensure interchangeability without redesigning the PCB footprint.
