306-019-420-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-019-420-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 38 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows of seven contacts per grid. The connector utilizes gold-plated cantilever contacts housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation, supporting card thicknesses from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Rated for operation between -40°C and 105°C, it includes flange features for flush installation with top openings and 4-40 threaded inserts.
