306-017-521-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-017-521-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 34 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing arranged in a single centerline row. The connector utilizes gold-plated cantilever spring contacts to accommodate printed circuit boards with nominal thicknesses of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with a green thermoplastic polyester insulator, it supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm compatibility with your board thickness and mounting requirements. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the desired flange and guide specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate environmental ratings and material composition before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust connection for .062 inch thick boards is required. The 0.156 inch pitch provides ample spacing for high-voltage applications compared to finer pitches. Consider the low-profile body for space-constrained enclosures. Verify that the cantilever contact type meets the mating force requirements of the target application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in card edge connectors. The series offers various mounting options and contact configurations. The 306-017-521-158 variant specifically addresses needs for dual-edge connections with a standardized 0.156 inch spacing, providing a reliable interface for vertical or horizontal board insertion.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Compatible alternatives within the same series may differ in flange style or guide configuration while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical parameters.
