307-030-459-168

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-030-459-168 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 30 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. Designed for single-edge board applications, it utilizes tin-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A current. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting PCB thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. It employs a panel mount installation style with solder pin termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge female connector configuration for non-specified card types
• Panel mount design with solder pin termination for secure attachment
• Thermoplastic polyester housing providing electrical insulation
• Copper alloy contacts with tin plating for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards
• Automotive electronic module interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating and orientation. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the single-edge receptacle type matches the system architecture requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface is required for cards up to 1.78 mm thick. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining 5 A current capacity. Consider the tin-plated contacts for cost-effective solutions where high corrosion resistance is not the primary constraint compared to gold alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting angles to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 307 series is characterized by its durable thermoplastic construction and standardized dimensions, ensuring compatibility across multiple industrial and commercial electronic platforms.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 307 series parts with matching 30-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify equivalent mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings when considering cross-manufacturer alternatives to ensure seamless integration.
