306-020-421-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-020-421-107 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed as a dual female receptacle with 40 positions. It features a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm). The component utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current, it employs vertical panel mount installation with solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination
• Thermoplastic polyester housing with tin-plated copper alloy contacts

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure requirements. Cross-reference the 40-position count with the system design specifications to avoid mismatched pin counts.

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. The 5 A current rating and tin-plated contacts suit general industrial applications. Consider the 306 series family for standardized mechanical dimensions. Verify insulation resistance and operating temperature ranges against environmental conditions before finalizing the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which offers extensive customization options for card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate diverse design needs. The 306-020-421-107 specifically addresses requirements for dual-edge interfaces with robust mechanical stability in panel-mounted configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch, 40-position count, and dual female configuration. Verify that mechanical dimensions and termination types are identical to ensure proper fit and function.
