306-024-521-104

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-024-521-104 is a standard card edge connector featuring 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. It utilizes a single row of contacts and is designed for vertical panel mounting. The connector 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 at +105 °C maximum operating temperature. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic material.

Feature Summary

• Single centerline row configuration with .156 inch contact spacing
• Accepts .062 inch nominal thickness PCBs
• Low profile insulator body design

Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment
• Medical devices
• Energy sector applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration into regulated environments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row card edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for vertical panel mount installations where low profile height is beneficial. Verify that the application environment remains within the -40 °C to +105 °C operational temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. It is distinct from the 357 series which includes flanges, and the 633 series which features D-Sub connections. The 306 series focuses on standard density interconnect solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants for different pin counts. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in available documentation. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings against existing designs before substitution.
