306-033-420-158

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-033-420-158 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 66 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing arranged in a single centerline row. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Tin plating is applied to the contacts, and the insulator body is constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic polyester. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with tin-plated copper alloy contacts
• Accepts standard 0.062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards
• High-temperature thermoplastic polyester insulator body

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 66-position count and 0.156-inch spacing before procurement. Confirm that the target application supports the specified 0.062-inch board thickness to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check for any updated environmental compliance documentation if the project requires specific REACH or RoHS certifications beyond the standard manufacturer declarations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female interface is required for standard thickness PCBs. The 0.156-inch pitch provides ample spacing for reliable signal integrity in general-purpose applications. Ensure the mounting style aligns with the panel design constraints, as this model utilizes through-hole termination for secure attachment.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which offers various positioning options and termination styles. The series is engineered for durability in demanding environments, featuring high-temperature resistant materials. This specific model represents a standard configuration within the lineup, balancing mechanical stability with electrical performance for widespread industrial use.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 66-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that alternative components support the same 0.062-inch board thickness and through-hole mounting method to maintain mechanical compatibility.
