306-019-500-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-019-500-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 38 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes cantilever contacts with gold plating over phosphor bronze, suitable for PCBs with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and includes flange features for flush installation using 4-40 threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with cantilever contacts for reliable board insertion
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze terminals ensure stable electrical performance
• Integrated flange design supports flush panel mounting with threaded hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board thicknesses
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm exact pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance and mounting hardware specifications. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental compliance data with current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 0.156-inch spacing is required for panel-mounted applications. Confirm that the target printed circuit board falls within the specified thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Evaluate the need for the integrated flange feature to determine if flush mounting is necessary for the mechanical assembly constraints.
