307-024-431-168

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-024-431-168 is a standard card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for single-edge board applications. It features 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes tin-plated contacts made from copper alloy and is housed in a green thermoplastic polyester shell. Rated for 5 A current, it offers 5 GOhms insulation resistance and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific plating finish and orientation requirements against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical design constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental specifications of the target application. Cross-reference the pin count and pitch with the mating card edge PCB layout to guarantee compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the tin plating option if gold plating is not specified or necessary for the application. Evaluate the 5 A current rating against the circuit load requirements. Verify that the green thermoplastic housing material is suitable for the thermal and chemical environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series includes various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing common electrical characteristics such as the 5 A rating and 3.96 mm pitch. The 307-024-431-168 specifically addresses the need for a 24-position single-edge interface.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 307 series parts with identical pitch and position counts but different plating or housing colors. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before swapping with non-OEM components.
