Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating type and termination style, as variations exist within the 306 series. Confirm that the target PCB design accommodates the 0.156-inch pitch and panel mount requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet to ensure compatibility with the intended card thickness and environmental operating conditions before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.460-inch insulator height. Verify that the tin-plated contacts meet the conductivity and corrosion resistance needs of the application environment compared to gold-plated alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which offers a wide range of card edge connectors. The series provides various mounting options, contact terminations, and row configurations. EDAC manufactures these components for global distribution channels serving OEMs in computing, medical, aerospace, and industrial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching 40-position dual female configurations. Verify that alternative part numbers maintain the 0.156-inch pitch and panel mount form factor to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
