306-031-400-103

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-031-400-103 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 62 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing arranged in a single centerline row per side. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Tin-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical connection, while the green thermoplastic polyester insulator body provides structural integrity. This component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards
• Features low profile insulator body construction
• Utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts for signal transmission

Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• General-purpose electronic module mounting

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a dual-edge configuration compatible with 0.062 inch board thickness. Confirm that the required contact spacing matches the 0.156 inch specification. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to 105°C thermal limits. Check for RoHS compliance requirements against the manufacturer's current documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, low-profile solution for standard thickness boards is needed. The single centerline row design simplifies routing compared to multi-row alternatives. Consider the tin plating finish for general applications where gold is not strictly required. Evaluate mechanical stability needs as the unit supports panel mounting configurations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its compatibility with common industry board thicknesses and standardized spacing. It serves as a fundamental interconnect solution for modular electronic designs requiring durable physical connections between PCBs and chassis systems.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference the 306-031-400-103 with other EDAC 306 series variants sharing identical pin counts and spacing. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 0.062 inch board thickness acceptance capability. Ensure mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns are compatible with existing panel cutouts.
