306-022-500-107

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-022-500-107 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with 44 positions arranged in two rows of 22 contacts each. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with a gold plating finish to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration providing 44 total connection points across two rows
• Accepts non-specified dual-edge PCBs with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 10.0 µin thickness for durability
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels
• Embedded computing modules needing high-density I/O

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a dual-edge card interface compatible with the specified 0.062-inch board thickness. Confirm that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the enclosure. Ensure that the gold contact finish meets the environmental requirements for corrosion resistance. Check for any specific RoHS compliance documentation if required by regional regulations before finalizing the order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, dual-row connection is necessary for thick PCBs. The 306 series offers a low-profile insulator body suitable for space-constrained panel installations. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch when designing the mating card layout. This model is appropriate for environments where mechanical stability and reliable electrical contact are prioritized over surface-mount convenience.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in accepting various board thicknesses and its robust construction for industrial use. The 306-022 variant specifically addresses the need for higher pin counts in a compact form factor, supporting up to 44 positions while maintaining standard spacing dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for cross-referenced part numbers. Verify compatibility with existing tooling and mating cards before substituting. Ensure that any alternative part maintains the same 0.156-inch pitch and dual-edge acceptance capability.
