306-032-521-104

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-032-521-104 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting with solder termination. It features a dual female configuration with 64 positions arranged in two rows, providing a total of 64 contacts. The connector 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). Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in gold, the unit employs a thermoplastic insulator body and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm)
• Features a low-profile insulator body design
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing reliable signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 64-position dual-row configuration and 0.156-inch spacing. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified acceptance range of 0.062 inches to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical contact stability during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single centerline row with 0.156-inch spacing is required for vertical panel or through-hole installation. Consider the 64-position capacity and dual female contact type for applications needing high-density interconnects on standard thickness boards. Evaluate the operating temperature range and gold finish requirements against the environmental conditions of the intended deployment scenario.

Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their 0.156-inch pitch and suitability for various industrial and commercial applications. The series offers multiple position counts and mounting options, allowing designers to scale connectivity needs while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical performance standards across different product lines.

Replacement Considerations

The 306-032-521-103 is listed as a related variant within the same series, potentially differing in position count or specific termination details. Verify exact dimensional compatibility and pinout alignment before substituting any alternative part numbers from the 306 series to ensure seamless integration into existing designs.
