306-029-400-112

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-029-400-112 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for board-to-board or backplane interconnections. It features 58 positions with 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). The contacts are tin-plated, and the insulator body is green. This component utilizes a low-profile design suitable for space-constrained applications requiring reliable signal transmission.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure card insertion
• Low-profile insulator body construction
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal PCB thickness

Applications

• Computing and storage systems
• Medical interconnect solutions
• Industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the 58-position count matches the target board layout. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding material composition or dimensional tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the mating card thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification. Consider the tin plating for general-purpose applications rather than high-corrosion environments where gold might be preferred.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of edgeboard connectors. The series is known for providing robust interconnect solutions for various sectors including aerospace and communications. The 306-029-400-112 represents a specific variant within this family defined by its position count and physical dimensions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 58 positions and 0.156 inch pitch, such as 306-029-520-112, provided the plating and housing color requirements are met.
