306-016-420-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-016-420-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 32 positions arranged in two rows, utilizing a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm and employs a vertical mounting angle. Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with tin plating, while the housing is made of green thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount design for stable structural integration
• Thermoplastic housing provides electrical insulation and mechanical protection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Panel-mounted electronic module interfaces
• General-purpose circuit board connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating finish against project requirements, as datasheet references may vary between gold and tin options within the same series. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge dimensions. Ensure the vertical orientation matches the enclosure layout constraints before finalizing the order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted assemblies. The 32-position capacity supports moderate signal density needs. Verify compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm to ensure proper retention force and contact engagement during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing modular solutions for industrial electronics. The 306-016-420-101 specifically addresses high-density vertical connection needs within this product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other EDAC 306 series variants with matching 32-position dual-edge configurations. Verify identical pitch, board thickness tolerance, and mounting style before substitution to maintain mechanical fit.
