306-017-521-112

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-017-521-112 is a standard card edge connector adapter designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a single centerline row with 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a thermoplastic insulator body, ensuring reliable electrical performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount configuration for secure installation
• Single centerline row design accommodating 0.062 inch board thickness
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• PCB board-to-board interconnection adapters
• Panel-mounted signal routing systems
• Industrial control interface modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and mating board thickness against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the single-row configuration aligns with the target application's signal requirements. Ensure the panel mount style matches the enclosure design specifications to guarantee proper mechanical fit and alignment during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution is required for 0.062-inch thick PCBs. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing compared to high-density options. Consider the thermoplastic housing material for general environmental stability within the specified temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations for different board thicknesses and mounting styles. The 306-017 variant specifically addresses needs for vertical panel integration with single-row connectivity, distinguishing it from multi-row or through-hole variants.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 306 series that share the same 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch board thickness specification. Verify identical mounting angles and contact plating requirements to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the host panel.
