306-021-520-158

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 306-021-520-158 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 21 positions with a single centerline row. It utilizes a .156 inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of .062 inch (1.57 mm). The component employs gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and is designed for vertical panel mounting. This low-profile insulator body ensures compact integration within electronic assemblies requiring secure card edge interfacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, pitch, and termination type match project requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Ensure the receiving facility handles components according to static-sensitive device protocols during storage and assembly processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row, 21-position interface is required for .062 inch thick PCBs. The .156 inch pitch accommodates standard board layouts while the vertical orientation supports panel-mount architectures. Evaluate thermal operating ranges and insulation resistance specifications against environmental conditions to ensure long-term reliability in the target application scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles for diverse electronic interconnection needs.
