306-019-400-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-019-400-102 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 38 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. Designed for dual-edge mating, it utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs a vertical panel mount installation style and incorporates a green thermoplastic insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector configuration for secure board insertion
• Low-profile insulator body design to minimize spatial requirements
• Vertical orientation suitable for panel mounting applications

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Medical device internal circuitry connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm plating type and material composition. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount form factor aligns with the mechanical enclosure constraints. Cross-reference the 38-position count with the schematic requirements to prevent signal mapping errors during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel integration. The tin-plated contacts offer cost-effective conductivity for general-purpose applications. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the end-use device. Consider the low-profile body height if space constraints are critical within the assembly housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles for diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 306 series is characterized by its reliable performance in industrial and commercial environments, offering consistent electrical connectivity through standardized mechanical dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching 38 positions and 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure any replacement maintains the dual-edge female configuration and vertical panel mount orientation. Verify that alternative parts support the same 1.57 mm PCB thickness specification.
