306-015-521-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-015-521-107 is a dual female card edge connector designed for vertical panel and through-hole mounting. It features 30 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing across two rows. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy cantilever contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. It accepts printed circuit boards with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The insulator body is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration with cantilever spring contacts for secure board retention
• Gold-plated terminals on copper alloy substrates for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator housing rated for high-temperature environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 306 Series Ordering Guide to confirm flange characteristics and terminal plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness limits defined in the datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications required for the intended deployment region before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 0.156-inch pitch is required for vertical panel integration. The design accommodates standard double-sided card edges within the specified thickness tolerance. Consider the through-hole termination method for robust mechanical stability in vibration-prone applications compared to surface mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and flange options to support diverse industrial connectivity needs. The 306-015 variant specifically provides a mid-range capacity solution suitable for moderate density circuit board interfaces requiring durable metal-to-metal contact performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible substitutes using the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide. Verify that alternative parts match the 0.156-inch pitch, 30-position count, and dual female contact configuration. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting hole patterns are identical to maintain panel fit without redesigning the host enclosure.
