307-036-520-278

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-036-520-278 is a standard card edge connector from the 307 series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 36 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.200 inches (5.08 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and carries RoHS compliance.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin configuration and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the required environmental durability standards for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge interface with 36 positions is required. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing moderate density. Verify that the panel mount or PCB mount variant matches the mechanical assembly requirements. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C aligns with the system's thermal profile.

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 styles. The 307-036-520-278 specifically denotes a 36-position dual-edge connector. It is widely used in modular electronic systems requiring robust electrical connections between daughterboards and motherboards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 307 series parts with identical 36-position dual-edge specifications. Cross-referencing the 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch board thickness is essential. Verify that any alternative maintains the same gold plating and copper alloy contact material for equivalent performance.
