Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color variations within the 306 series. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm before integration. Confirm that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental requirements for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermoplastic polyester housing material for durability. Verify that the tin-plated copper alloy contacts align with the mating card's electrical and corrosion resistance specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch. The 306-019-421-107 variant specifically addresses applications requiring 38-position dual-edge connectivity with a tin-plated contact finish.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 38 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 306-019-421-104 or 306-019-421-108, provided the contact plating and housing color differences are acceptable for the assembly.
