306-023-400-103

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-023-400-103 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 46 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The connector utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Panel mount design with flange characteristics for stable installation
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation providing thermal stability

Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Computing hardware peripheral interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 306 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct termination style, plating, and packaging specifications. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the supported range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches for proper mechanical engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the target printed circuit board thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical constraints for optimal contact retention.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations including different row counts, pin pitches, and mounting styles. The 306-023-400-103 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge connections with tin plating and panel-mount capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with identical electrical parameters but different packaging or minor mechanical variations. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if they match the 0.156-inch pitch, 46-position count, and dual-edge female interface.
