306-022-420-112

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-022-420-112 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a single row of 22 female contacts with a 0.156 inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inch (1.57 mm). Contacts are tin-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The green thermoplastic polyester insulator body provides low profile design and flush mounting capability.

Feature Summary

• Accepts .062 inch nominal thickness PCBs
• Low profile insulator body design
• Single centerline row configuration

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating and insulation material against the official manufacturer datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the single-row configuration meets the board layout requirements. Ensure the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design specifications to guarantee proper fit and function.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical card edge interface is required for 0.062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing fewer connections in a linear arrangement. Verify that the tin-plated contacts meet the environmental and conductivity requirements for the intended operational conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. This specific model provides a compact solution for connecting dual-edge cards in vertical orientations, utilizing a robust thermoplastic polyester housing for durability.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series parts for different position counts. Verify compatibility with existing board edge profiles and mating connector specifications before substitution.
