307-072-400-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 307-072-400-268 is a standard card edge connector header from the 307 series, featuring 72 positions with a 3.96 mm contact spacing and 5.08 mm row spacing. It accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A current. The thermoplastic housing supports panel mounting in vertical orientation, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 72 positions for high-density interconnect applications
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body designed for space-constrained panel installations

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board thicknesses

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify exact availability through authorized EDAC distributors as supply status may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements against specific project regulations. Ensure ordering suffixes match desired plating and packaging specifications. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm dimensional accuracy before final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 72-position dual-row interface is required with 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the target PCB maintains the specified 1.57 mm thickness for proper engagement. Consider the vertical mounting style and panel installation constraints during mechanical design integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for general-purpose electronic applications. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm contact spacing and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility across the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 307-series variants with matching 72 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 307-072-556-268, provided orientation and mounting style requirements align with the system design.
