306-024-400-104

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-024-400-104 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring dual female contacts with a .156 inch (3.96mm) pitch. It provides 56 positions arranged in two rows, designed for vertical panel mount installation. The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of .062 inches (1.57mm). Contacts are tin-plated copper alloy, rated for 3A current. The insulator body is constructed from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration with 56 total positions for high-density interconnect applications
• Vertical panel mount design with flanges for secure mechanical attachment
• Tin-plated contacts on copper alloy substrate ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene sulfide insulator body providing thermal stability and low profile

Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Medical equipment interface modules
• Communications network hardware cards
• Consumer electronics board-to-board connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact plating and material specifications. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the .062 inch nominal requirement for proper insertion force and retention. Confirm that the vertical mounting style aligns with the enclosure design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge solution with .156 inch spacing is required. The tin plating offers cost-effective conductivity suitable for general-purpose applications rather than high-corrosion environments. Verify that the 56-position count meets the circuit trace requirements and that the vertical orientation fits within the available chassis depth.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in .156 inch pitch card edge connectors. The series includes various position counts and mounting styles tailored for rack and panel applications. EDAC designs these components to meet rigorous quality standards for computing, storage, and industrial sectors, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB fabrication processes.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are documented for this specific model. Cross-referencing requires matching the .156 inch pitch, 56-position count, dual-row layout, and vertical panel mount configuration exactly to ensure functional interchangeability.
