306-017-421-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-017-421-158 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for dual-side board edge mounting. It features a 34-position configuration with female contacts arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Termination is achieved via solder joints across one row, ensuring reliable electrical connectivity. The housing is constructed from durable insulating material, providing structural integrity for industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-side card edge design for secure board retention
• Female contact configuration with gold plating for signal integrity
• Solder termination method for robust PCB attachment
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable interconnects
• Medical equipment internal module connections
• Agricultural technology hardware interfaces
• General-purpose electronic assembly and prototyping

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and insulation color specifications, as these may vary within the 306 series. Confirm that the target application requires a dual-row configuration compatible with 0.156-inch pitch. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB thickness of 0.062 inches to guarantee proper mechanical fit and electrical performance during procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge connector with 34 positions is required. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing for high-voltage isolation or ease of assembly compared to finer pitches. Consider the solder termination type for through-hole mounting processes. Evaluate the need for dual-side retention versus single-side options based on mechanical stress requirements in the final assembly.
