307-015-401-178

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-015-401-178 is a dual-sided female card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 30 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and 5.08mm row spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a half-beam type, housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57mm and employs solder pin termination. The unit includes locking flange characteristics with top opening and threaded inserts (4-40), ensuring secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female configuration for high-density signal interconnection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Panel mount design with integrated locking mechanism
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the presence of threaded locking inserts and top-opening flange design, as these mechanical features define the installation method. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57mm. Confirm that the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate RoHS compliance and material specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, double-row interface is required for thick PCBs up to 1.57mm. The 30-position count supports substantial I/O requirements within a compact footprint. The choice of gold plating and half-beam contacts makes it suitable for environments demanding long-term reliability and low contact resistance under vibration conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with 3.96mm pitch. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 307-015-401-178 specifically addresses needs for dual-sided connections with mechanical locking, distinguishing it from standard straight-mount variants in the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 307 series parts offering 30 positions and dual-side female contacts. Verify that any substitute matches the 1.57mm PCB thickness requirement and includes equivalent locking flange features to maintain mechanical integrity in the assembly.
