306-031-420-101

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-031-420-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 62 positions with dual female contacts. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The component employs a solder pin termination type for panel mount installation. Its insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing a low-profile design suitable for vertical mounting configurations.

Feature Summary

• Accepts .062" (1.57mm) nominal thickness P.C. Board
• Low profile insulator body design
• .156" (3.96mm) contact spacing with single centreline row

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing reliable signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating material and flange characteristics, as variations exist within the series. Confirm that the target application requires a dual-edge female configuration compatible with the specified board thickness. Ensure compatibility with the required panel mounting style and verify RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 62-position interface is required for double-sided PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch defines the trace routing constraints on the mating card. Consider the vertical panel mount orientation and the specific insulation material properties for thermal management. Validate that the mechanical dimensions align with the enclosure space limitations and that the termination method matches the assembly process capabilities.
