Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required plating and insulation color specifications. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended PCB thickness tolerance and mounting style requirements for your assembly process before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for non-specified card types. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified operating temperature range. Consider the tin plating option if gold plating is not strictly necessary for the contact interface durability requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their .156-inch contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse PCB layout needs. The 306 series is widely used in industries requiring robust mechanical connections for edge-board assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching pin counts and pitch. Verify cross-compatibility with competitors offering similar dual-edge female connectors at 3.96mm spacing, ensuring identical PCB thickness acceptance and mounting constraints.
