306-022-400-158

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-022-400-158 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 22 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96mm). The connector utilizes tin-plated female contacts and is housed in a green insulator body. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Tin-plated contacts for reliable electrical performance
• Green insulator body with flush mounting design

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment needing durable signal connections
• Agricultural technology hardware exposed to harsh environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct plating and termination type. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range before procurement. Check current availability status as supply levels may vary by region and distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 0.156-inch spacing is required. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to 105°C operating temperature limits. Consider the tin plating option if lead-free compliance or specific solderability characteristics are preferred over gold.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which offers a comprehensive range of card edge connectors. The series includes various configurations for different board thicknesses and contact counts, serving diverse sectors such as communications, consumer electronics, and industrial automation.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 306 Series variants like 306-023-400-158 for position differences. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB layouts before substituting.
