306-019-421-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-019-421-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 38 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with a tin plating finish, rated for 5 A current. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, supporting vertical installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure board insertion
• Panel mount orientation with vertical alignment
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module integration

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the mating card edge board thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance range. Consider the tin-plated contacts for general-purpose connectivity rather than high-corrosion environments requiring gold plating.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing versatile solutions for edgeboard connections. The 306 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic construction and standardized spacing dimensions suitable for widespread industrial use.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or plating options. Verify mechanical compatibility before substituting with other series connectors.
