306-041-400-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 306-041-400-102 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 82 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes a female contact configuration with tin plating on copper alloy terminals. It supports solder pin termination and is intended for panel mount installation. The insulator is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing structural integrity for vertical mounting applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for secure board retention
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount orientation with solder pin termination
• Green thermoplastic insulator housing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and insulator color variations within the 306 series. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and panel cutout dimensions before procurement. Confirm that the tin plating specification meets the environmental requirements of the final assembly application.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge interface is required with a 3.96mm pitch. The 82-position count suits complex signal routing needs. Verify that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints and that the solder pin termination method matches the manufacturing process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles.
