306-017-420-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-017-420-103 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB applications. It features 34 positions with female contacts arranged in a single row per side, utilizing a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with a low-profile insulator body and tin-plated copper alloy contacts, it supports panel mount or through-hole installation via solder termination. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge receptacle design accommodates non-specified board types with single centerline row contacts
• Low-profile insulator body facilitates compact assembly integration
• Tin surface finish on copper alloy contacts ensures reliable solder termination
• Panel mount and through-hole installation options provide flexible mounting configurations

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Standard card edge interconnection for electronic modules
• Through-hole mounting on industrial control panels
• Low-profile system integration requiring 0.062 inch board thickness

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 306 Series Ordering Guide to confirm pin count and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number 151-306-017-420-103-ND for accurate distributor identification.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 34 positions is required. The 0.156-inch spacing suits standard industrial PCB layouts. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Ensure the mounting method aligns with panel or through-hole constraints. Confirm that the low-profile height meets spatial limitations in the enclosure design.
