306-017-400-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-017-400-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a single centerline row with 17 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Constructed with copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body, it provides reliable electrical interconnection in low-profile configurations suitable for various electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design for secure board integration
• Single centerline row configuration for simplified routing
• Low profile insulator body to minimize overall height

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Electronic assemblies requiring vertical card edge connections
• Industrial control panels utilizing standard thickness PCBs
• Consumer electronics with space-constrained vertical layouts

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required flange and termination style. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Ensure the single-row configuration aligns with the circuit design requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions and material specifications to avoid integration errors during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, single-row connection is required for standard 0.062-inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and manufacturability. Consider the thermoplastic housing material for general-purpose insulation needs. Evaluate the panel mount style against available chassis space and alignment fixtures to ensure proper installation and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in handling various board thicknesses and contact arrangements. The 306-017 variant specifically addresses applications needing a moderate number of positions in a single row format, providing a robust solution for connecting edge-mounted circuit boards to system backplanes or motherboards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row count but different termination or flange options. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before swapping. Alternative series may offer different thermal ratings or contact materials. Always validate pin-to-pin compatibility and mounting hole alignment when considering cross-series replacements.
