306-025-500-112

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-025-500-112 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount vertical installation. It features 50 positions with a single centerline row and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is green thermoplastic, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches
• Low profile insulator body design
• Single centerline row configuration

Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical interconnection
• Industrial control systems utilizing dual-edge card insertion
• Equipment housing where low-profile board connection is required

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact spacing and board thickness compatibility. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the required environmental durability standards for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the panel mounting hole dimensions with the mechanical drawing to ensure proper fitment during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount interface is required for a 50-position dual-edge card. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal specification. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch requirement against available routing space. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C satisfies the system's thermal conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for high-density applications. The 306 series typically offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing flexibility for different enclosure designs while maintaining consistent electrical performance and mechanical reliability across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for confirmed substitute part numbers. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 0.156 inch pitch and 50-position count. Ensure mechanical compatibility regarding panel cutout dimensions and board thickness acceptance before substitution.
