306-020-520-108

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-020-520-108 is a standard card edge connector featuring 40 positions in a single row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current, while the thermoplastic insulator body ensures reliable performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Accepts .062" (1.57mm) nominal thickness P.C. Board
• Low profile insulator body design
• Single centreline row configuration

Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Consumer electronics modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm requirement for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the panel mounting style aligns with the system enclosure design before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row connection with 3.96 mm pitch is required for board-to-panel interfaces. It is suitable for applications needing vertical orientation and robust thermal performance up to 105°C. Consider the low-profile body if space constraints exist within the assembly housing.
