306-022-500-108

Overview

The EDAC 306-022-500-108 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 44 total positions arranged in two rows of 22. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, ensuring durability across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual row female contact configuration for high-density board connections
• Vertical panel mount installation style for secure structural attachment
• Gold-plated contacts on copper alloy substrate for reliable conductivity
• Compatible with standard 0.062 inch thick PCB specifications

Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, plating type, and mounting orientation. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the dual-row 44-position layout matches the design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Validate lead times as distribution availability may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, vertically mounted dual-row interface is required for 0.062-inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard card edge designs while providing sufficient spacing for signal integrity. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal performance limits when designing for high-power applications. Ensure the panel cutout dimensions align with the connector's mechanical footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with 0.156 inch spacing. The series offers various configurations including single and dual rows with different termination styles. The 306-022-500-108 specifically addresses needs for dual-sided connectivity in compact panel-mounted assemblies, distinguishing it from surface-mount or wire-hole variants within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 306-022-500-102 for single-row alternatives or other 306-series dual-row parts with matching 0.156 inch pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Ensure any replacement maintains the vertical panel mount requirement and compatible PCB thickness tolerance.
