306-021-400-112

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-021-400-112 is a dual female card edge connector with 42 positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. It features a single centerline row design, accepting printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The component utilizes a low-profile insulator body and is designed for panel mount installation via through-hole termination.

Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration with 42 positions
• Accepts 0.062 inch nominal PCB thickness
• Low profile insulator body design

Applications

• Panel mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating type and flange orientation. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Ensure the mounting style matches the panel requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile interface is required for standard thickness boards. The 0.156-inch spacing suits applications where higher pin density is not critical. Verify that the single centerline row meets the signal routing needs. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions accommodate the flange specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations for different board thicknesses and spacing requirements. This specific model provides a robust solution for general-purpose interconnect applications requiring reliable mechanical retention.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 306 series variants for different pin counts or spacings. Verify compatibility with existing panel cutouts and mating card edge profiles before substitution.
