Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color variations within the 306 series. Confirm that the 38-position configuration matches the target PCB layout requirements. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compatibility with the specified 1.57 mm board thickness before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for dual-edge or single-edge card applications. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board widths. Tin plating provides cost-effective connectivity, while the thermoplastic polyester housing ensures durability. Verify that the 38-position count aligns precisely with the signal routing needs of the host system.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles tailored for reliable interconnection in electronic assemblies. The 306-019-420-107 specifically addresses the need for high-density connections with a robust mechanical profile suitable for panel integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 38 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 306-019-420-103 if tin plating is confirmed identical. Cross-brand replacements require strict verification of pitch, board thickness tolerance, and contact geometry to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity.
