306-015-500-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-015-500-112 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for single-edge board insertion. It features 15 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch, accommodating PCBs up to 1.57 mm thick. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. Constructed with a thermoplastic polyester housing in green, it utilizes through-hole solder termination and offers straight mounting orientation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural integrity and environmental protection.
• Through-hole solder termination facilitates secure mechanical attachment to the circuit board.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Single-edge card edge interface connections
• Industrial control module interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and housing color variations. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Cross-reference the pin count and pitch specifications with the target application design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 15-position single-row connector is required for boards with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the 5 A current rating and through-hole mounting style for compatibility with existing assembly processes. Verify that the straight orientation fits within the available chassis space constraints.
