306-034-520-104

Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-034-520-104 is a standard card edge connector from the 306 series, designed for panel mount applications with through-hole termination. It features a dual female configuration with 68 positions and a contact pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). This component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified board types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body design
• Panel mount installation with through-hole soldering

Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronic module interfaces
• Medical device internal connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and contact spacing against the target PCB layout before ordering. Confirm that the mounting style matches the enclosure requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the system's thermal conditions. Validate the insulation material compatibility with the manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Choose this connector when a dual-edge interface with 68 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board densities. Gold plating is suitable for environments requiring oxidation resistance. The panel mount style provides mechanical stability. Consider the low-profile body if vertical space is limited in the application design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of edgeboard connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 306-034 variant specifically denotes the 68-position configuration. The suffix indicates the contact plating and housing color specifications. It is manufactured by EDAC Inc., a provider of interconnect solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series parts with matching 68 positions and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that alternative parts support dual-edge female contacts. Ensure the replacement maintains the same panel mount and through-hole termination method. Check for identical operating temperature ranges and insulation materials.
