306-016-400-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-016-400-107 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 32 positions in a dual-edge configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch with solder pin termination for panel mount installation. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with tin plating, rated for 5 A current. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, supporting board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary
