Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact finish and insulation resistance ratings. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the specified 1.57 mm requirement before procurement. Confirm that the vertical orientation aligns with the mechanical layout constraints of the assembly. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest regulatory documentation provided by EDAC Inc. prior to finalizing purchase orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, single-row card edge interface is required for panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the compatible card edge width and trace spacing. Verify that the application environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational limits. Consider the 5 A current rating to ensure adequate capacity for the intended circuit loads without exceeding thermal thresholds.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 306-020-400-107 specifically addresses requirements for 20-position vertical interfaces. It complements other series such as 316 and 356, which may offer different mounting styles or row configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for direct equivalents. Verify that any alternative maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 20-position count. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB stack-ups.
