Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm design tolerance. Check current availability status as distribution channels may vary by region. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental directives such as RoHS requirements before final procurement authorization.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, dual-edge female connector is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Ensure the mating card edge thickness falls within the acceptable mechanical limits for reliable contact engagement.

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 configurations for industrial interconnect needs. The 306 series typically utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulators and offers options for different contact platings. This specific model represents a mid-range position count variant within the product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The EDAC part number 306-016-420-108 serves as a confirmed public substitute within the same series. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, position counts, and pitch specifications. Verify that any alternative sourcing matches the original tin plating and housing material requirements.
