306-024-521-112

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-024-521-112 is a dual-sided card edge connector receptacle featuring 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing. Designed for through-hole termination, it utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with a low-profile insulator body, the connector supports vertical panel mounting and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated terminal surfaces for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body design optimized for space-constrained applications
• Vertical orientation with panel-mount flanges for stable mechanical fixation

Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules
• Medical device internal circuit board interconnections
• Telecommunications network equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics mainboard expansion slots

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and insulation color specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal requirement to ensure proper contact engagement. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level integrity prior to soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided connection with 24 positions is required for standard 0.156-inch pitch layouts. It is suitable for designs necessitating vertical mounting with robust mechanical retention via panel flanges. Consider the operating temperature range and material compatibility with the host PCB substrate. Evaluate spatial constraints due to the low-profile body height relative to adjacent components on the assembly.
