316-030-521-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 316-030-521-104 is a dual-edge card edge connector designed for surface-mount termination. It features 60 positions with a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96mm). The contacts are gold-plated, and the housing is green. This component belongs to the 316 series and is classified as a female connector.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration for board insertion
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for conductivity
• Surface-mount solder termination style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Rack and panel interconnect systems
• Industrial control equipment backplanes
• Telecommunications infrastructure modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the dual-edge female specification and 60-position count. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by project standards. Ensure the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing the purchase agreement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this part when a dual-edge female interface is required for rigid board connections. The 0.156-inch pitch dictates compatible mating hardware dimensions. Verify that the surface-mount termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities and PCB design constraints for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component is part of the EDAC 316 series, which focuses on standard card edge connectors. It differs from the 516 series, which utilizes rack and panel housings with separate contacts. The 316 series is characterized by its direct board-to-board or board-to-backplane connectivity using integrated contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 316 series variants offering different position counts or termination styles. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating connector specifications before substituting.
