Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct pin count, pitch, and termination style match your design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required board thickness and mounting orientation for proper integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 15-position connection is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard edgeboard widths. Consider the straight, through-hole termination for reliable PCB attachment. Verify that the 5 A rating meets the electrical load requirements of the target application circuitry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with various industry-standard board thicknesses. The 306 series provides a reliable interface solution for connecting edgeboards to main systems in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 306-015-500-178 and 306-015-500-104 variants with different plating or housing colors. Cross-series replacements like the 316 or 356 series offer similar form factors but may differ in specific mechanical tolerances or material specifications.
