306-015-521-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-015-521-112 is a card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 15 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and utilizes a single central row configuration. The connector employs female contacts with gold plating and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. It supports panel mounting with flange characteristics including flush installation and side openings. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and accommodates PCB thicknesses between 0.054 inches and 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single central row contact configuration for dual-edge board insertion
• Gold-plated cantilever spring contacts ensuring reliable electrical connection
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulator body for high-temperature stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 306 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and mounting hardware compatibility. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified operational range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches prior to procurement to guarantee proper mechanical fit and electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, dual-edge connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the design allows for flush panel mounting with side openings, as these are fixed mechanical constraints of the 306 series housing geometry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors characterized by their durable construction and versatile mounting options. The series offers various configurations for different pin counts and row arrangements, serving as a common interconnect solution in electronic assemblies where reliable signal transmission across card edges is essential.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series cross-reference documentation for direct substitutes. Compatible alternatives may include other EDAC models within the same series that match the 0.156-inch pitch and single-row specification while meeting identical mechanical and environmental requirements.
