306-033-500-112

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-033-500-112 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 66 positions, providing reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm pitch and accommodates board thicknesses of 1.57 mm. Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durability and low contact resistance, while the thermoplastic insulation provides electrical stability.

Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge engagement
• Vertical panel mount orientation for structured chassis integration
• Gold-plated cantilever spring contacts for consistent conductivity
• Thermoplastic housing material for robust mechanical support

Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Automotive electronics module interfaces
• Test and measurement instrument signal routing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm pin count and plating specifications before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the enclosure design requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 66-position interface is required for vertical mounting applications. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for substantial trace spacing compared to finer pitches. Verify that the gold plating meets the environmental corrosion resistance needs of the deployment location. Ensure the thermoplastic housing material is suitable for the operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its use of cantilever contacts and thermoplastic insulation. The 306 series supports various position counts and mounting styles, offering flexibility for different board-to-board or board-to-backplane connections in industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 306-033-520-102, which shares similar structural characteristics but may differ in specific plating or flange configurations. Always verify dimensional tolerances and contact material specifications when cross-referencing alternative part numbers from the same manufacturer family.
