306-019-521-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-019-521-102 is a dual-edge female card edge connector featuring 38 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. It utilizes gold-plated cantilever contacts for reliable signal transmission and is housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Designed for panel mounting, the unit accepts printed circuit boards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The connector supports a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with cantilever spring contacts for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated terminals ensure corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Panel mount design with flange features for direct chassis or enclosure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Consumer electronic module interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to confirm exact pin count and plating specifications. Ensure that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified mechanical tolerance range before finalizing procurement. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS3 status match project documentation needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface with 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The green housing and gold plating provide distinct visual identification and enhanced durability. Consider the cantilever contact style for ease of insertion and removal during maintenance cycles compared to rigid pin designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options tailored for diverse industrial and commercial connectivity needs. The 306 series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with standard PCB manufacturing tolerances.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference guide for verified substitute part numbers. Direct replacements must maintain identical pitch, position count, and mounting style to ensure mechanical fit.
