306-015-420-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-015-420-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 30 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type for secure electrical connection. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, the housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester. This series supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB card thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the required current rating of 5 A aligns with the application's electrical load requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The vertical orientation and flange design facilitate precise board insertion and retention. Consider the thermoplastic polyester material properties for environmental resistance and the gold contact finish for long-term durability in demanding operational cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for robust industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to accommodate different circuit density needs. The 306-015-420-101 specifically addresses requirements for dual-row connectivity with standardized spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with identical pitch and row configurations. Verify that any alternative part number maintains the same 3.96 mm spacing and dual-row female contact arrangement to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
