307-012-456-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-012-456-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 12 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm plating type and material composition. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability status and lead times. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements match project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for 12-position interfaces. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C range. Ensure the application does not exceed the 5 A current rating per contact. Confirm panel mounting constraints align with the vertical orientation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 Series of card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for standard board interfaces. The 307 line is characterized by its robust thermoplastic construction and reliable contact systems. This specific model represents a dual-edge variant within that broader family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify identical panel mount requirements and compatible board thickness specifications. Contact manufacturers for cross-reference lists if exact part numbers are unavailable.
