306-015-520-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-015-520-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 30 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing across two rows. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a cantilever type termination. The insulator is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and 105°C. This component supports non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches.
