306-016-400-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 306-016-400-108 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 16 positions in a single row with a 3.96 mm pitch. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, the housing utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation. This component serves as a robust interface solution for high-density electronic assemblies requiring secure mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Medical device circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and flange configurations. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification. Confirm that the 16-position single-row layout aligns with the design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a vertical, panel-mount card edge interface is required. The 3.96 mm pitch supports standard board layouts. Verify compatibility with the mating card edge thickness and ensure the 5 A current rating meets the application's electrical demands without exceeding thermal limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles. The 306-016-400-108 specifically addresses applications needing a 16-contact vertical interface with panel mounting capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume generic equivalents match the specific 3.96 mm pitch or panel mount flange requirements.
