306-016-521-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-016-521-112 is a card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for through-hole mounting with wire wrap termination. It features a dual female configuration with 16 positions arranged in a single centerline row. The contact spacing is 0.156 inches (3.96 mm), and it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The contacts are plated with gold to ensure reliable conductivity. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing durability and electrical insulation. This component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.
