307-042-447-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-042-447-102 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 42 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. It utilizes a single row configuration designed for vertical panel mount installation. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with tin plating, while the insulator body is made of thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single row female connector design for single-edge board insertion
• Vertical orientation suitable for panel mounting applications
• Low profile insulator body construction
• Tin-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating type, as variations exist within the 307 series. Confirm that the target application requires tin plating rather than gold, which is common in other variants. Ensure the PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification to guarantee proper mechanical engagement. Check regional availability restrictions if sourcing through specific distributors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this part when a 42-position single-row header is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Consider the tin-plated contacts for cost-sensitive applications where high corrosion resistance is not critical. Verify compatibility with the mating card edge thickness before finalizing the design.

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 307-042-447-102 specifically represents the 42-position variant with tin contacts. Similar parts in the series may feature gold plating or different row configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 307-042-447-168 and 307-042-454-104, though these may differ in contact plating or mounting style. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution.
