306-030-521-104

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-030-521-104 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a single row of 30 female contacts with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) spacing. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with a gold finish and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is constructed with a thermoplastic insulator body.

Feature Summary

• Accepts .062 inch (1.57mm) nominal thickness P.C. board
• Low profile insulator body design
• Single centreline row configuration

Applications

• Standard card edge interconnection
• Panel mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 306 Series Ordering Guide to ensure compatibility with required termination styles and mounting configurations. Confirm that the single-row specification aligns with the target PCB layout requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 30-position connection is required for 1.57mm thick boards. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range and requires panel mount installation rather than surface mount or through-hole board attachment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and robust construction suitable for general industrial and commercial interconnect needs. The 306 series offers various pin counts and mounting options to accommodate diverse board edge designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 306 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 30-position count, 0.156 inch pitch, and 1.57mm board thickness acceptance criteria.
