306-030-400-158

Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 306-030-400-158 is a standard card edge connector featuring 60 positions with dual female contacts. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing arranged in a single centerline row. The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with a low-profile insulator body, the connector provides reliable electrical interconnection for vertical panel mounting applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Single centerline row design with 0.156-inch pitch
• Low-profile insulator body construction
• Vertical panel mounting style

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics internal module connections
• Medical device signal routing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required contact finishes and housing materials. Confirm that the 60-position count and dual female gender match the target PCB design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel mount solution is required for double-sided edge cards. Ensure the host PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch constraints relative to adjacent components on the mating assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options designed for high-reliability interconnects. The 306 series is widely utilized across industrial and commercial sectors for stable signal transmission.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models such as 306-030-521-107 for gold-plated variants or 306-030-400-107 for different finish options. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before substitution.
