306-028-500-103

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-028-500-103 is a dual-edge female card edge connector featuring 56 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing. Designed for single centerline row applications, it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The unit utilizes gold-plated contacts and a green insulator body, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body design for space-constrained assemblies

Applications

• High-density electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control panel interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Cross-reference the 56-position count and 0.156-inch pitch requirements with system design constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connection is required for 0.062-inch thick boards. The 0.156-inch spacing suits high-pin-count layouts where standard 0.100-inch pitches are insufficient. Confirm that the -40°C to 105°C operating range meets environmental demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which specializes in .156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing connectors. The series provides robust solutions for applications requiring higher pin densities than standard .100-inch spaced connectors, utilizing durable materials for consistent performance.
