306-034-500-103

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-034-500-103 is a dual-sided card edge connector designed for panel mounting with solder lug termination. It features 34 positions arranged in two rows, providing a total of 68 contacts. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a thickness ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring a 10.0µin gold plating thickness, the unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount design with solder lug termination for stable integration

Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 306 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact pin count, contact spacing, and termination style. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance and environmental operating conditions specified in the datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided connection with 0.156-inch spacing is required for panel-mounted applications. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Evaluate the need for gold contact plating thickness and the specific flange characteristics to ensure mechanical fit within the assembly constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations for single and double-sided connections with different spacing options. The 306 series is characterized by its low-profile insulator body and robust construction suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants sharing identical 0.156-inch spacing and 34-position dual-sided layouts. Verify that alternative parts match the precise termination type and flange dimensions to maintain mechanical compatibility.
