306-016-420-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 306-016-420-112 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 306 series. It features 32 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. Designed for panel mount installation, it accepts PCBs with a thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge mating
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides electrical insulation and mechanical stability
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical interconnection
• Industrial control systems utilizing card edge circuit boards
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure the target application requires the 306 series specifications rather than alternative EDAC families. Confirm that the panel mounting style aligns with the system enclosure design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row receptacle with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing a 5 A current rating per contact. Verify compatibility with 0.062-inch thick PCBs. Consider the thermoplastic polyester housing properties for environmental resistance in the intended operating conditions.

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. The 306 series is characterized by its use of thermoplastic polyester housings and gold-plated contacts, providing a robust solution for general-purpose board-to-panel connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different mounting styles or termination types. Cross-series replacements require matching the 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch PCB thickness constraints.
