306-019-421-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. part number 306-019-421-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 38 positions in a dual-edge female configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports solder pin termination and accommodates board thicknesses within the specified range.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount installation style with flange support
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator housing for structural integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board formats
• Test and measurement devices needing high-reliability connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and mounting hardware. Confirm that the tin plating meets environmental or conductivity requirements for the target application. Cross-reference the 306 series datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions and mating force specifications before finalizing procurement decisions.

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. Ensure the PCB design matches the 38-position layout and compatible board thickness. Consider the tin plating finish if gold plating is not strictly necessary for the electrical environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The series offers various position counts and termination options, providing flexibility for different board sizes and assembly methods while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical performance standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 306-019-421-104 (gold plating) or 306-019-421-168 (different termination). Verify that alternative part numbers match the exact 38-position count, dual-edge configuration, and 3.96 mm pitch to ensure mechanical fit.
