306-015-421-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-015-421-104 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 30 positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin plating and is housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation. It supports board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount installation style with flange features
• Copper alloy contacts with tin surface treatment for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and mounting constraints. Confirm that the tin-plated contact finish meets the environmental and conductivity requirements of the target application before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertical card edge connector is required for panel mounting. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the tin-plated contact finish for general-purpose applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary for corrosion resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations, providing a modular solution for high-density interconnect needs in electronic assemblies. The 306 series is characterized by its thermoplastic polyester housing and standardized pitch dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants such as 306-015-421-107 for gold-plated options or different row configurations. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications before substituting with generic equivalents.
