306-033-521-103

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-033-521-103 is a standard card edge connector featuring 33 positions in a single row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch and is designed for through-hole solder termination. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Constructed with a green thermoplastic insulator and copper alloy contacts, it offers a gold plating finish to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current at an insulation resistance of 5 Gohms, this vertical panel-mount header operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Single centerline row design accepting 0.062 inch nominal PCB thickness
• Low profile insulator body with flush mount flange feature
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Vertical orientation suitable for panel mounting applications

Applications

• Computing and storage system interconnects
• Medical device hardware interfaces
• Industrial control panel connections
• Communications network equipment modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and hole diameter specifications. Confirm that the required current rating and environmental operating conditions align with the system design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 33-position interface is required for 0.062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the trace spacing on the mating PCB. Consider the vertical panel-mount style and low-profile housing height constraints during mechanical enclosure design. Verify that the through-hole solder termination method matches the assembly process capabilities.
