307-016-524-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-016-524-207 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 16 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and 5.08 mm row spacing. Designed for dual-edge board insertion, it accommodates PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. It supports panel mount installation in a right-angle configuration with solder pin termination, rated for 5 A current.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides structural stability
• Right-angle panel mount facilitates efficient space utilization

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Automotive electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating type and termination style, as variations exist within the 307 series. Confirm that the target application requires a dual-edge connector rather than single-edge variants. Ensure the mating PCB thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm nominal requirement for proper contact engagement. Check regional availability constraints if sourcing through specific distributors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a right-angle, panel-mount solution is required for dual-edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets circuit demands. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for environmental suitability. Compare against single-row alternatives if space constraints differ.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 307 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 307-016 variant specifically addresses needs for 16-position dual-edge interfaces. It complements other series like 357 for different spacing requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 307 series parts with identical 16-position dual-edge specifications. Cross-reference part numbers such as 307-016-524-201 or 307-016-559-204 only if termination or plating differences are acceptable. Verify mechanical dimensions match before substitution.
