Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact plating, insulation material, and mounting style compatibility. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification for proper insertion force and electrical contact. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 15-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications needing straight-through-hole mounting and gold-plated contacts. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermoplastic polyester construction for environmental durability. Verify that the board thickness aligns with the connector's design limits for optimal performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 306 series is characterized by its low-profile insulator body and reliable through-hole soldering capabilities, serving as a foundational solution for general-purpose card edge applications across multiple industries.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part number 306-015-520-178 for alternative configurations within the same series. Verify dimensional drawings and pinout compatibility before substitution. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 15-position count to fit existing PCB layouts without modification.
