103168-6

The 103168-6 rectangular connector is a type of connector specially developed for electrical interconnection applications. Commonly known as a header or male pin connector, the rectangular connector is designed to provide a reliable electrical connection between two or more conductive components, such as circuit boards, cables, and other devices. The connector is a low-profile board-level backplane connector, designed to meet the highest standards of electrical performance. The 103168-6 connector is especially suitable for high-frequency signal applications and are used in a broad range of electronic and electro-mechanical applications, such as industrial, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.

The 103168-6 rectangular connector features a two-piece design, which includes a header connector and a male pin connector. The header connector features a snap-in mechanism, which allows the male pin connectors to easily snap into the header and remain securely in place. This ensures a reliable connection between the connectors and helps to reduce the risk of accidents due to misalignment.

The 103168-6 connector is constructed using a custom molded, plated plastic base and features gold-plated contacts. The contacts are designed to minimize cross-talk and offer high speed signal transmission as well as superior electrical performance. The header connector is designed to prevent accidental damage to the pins, while the male pin connector features an extended retention clip for secure mounting.

The 103168-6 connector is also designed to meet rigorous environmental requirements. It is resistant to vibration and shock, and has a temperature range of -40 to +165°C (depending on the application requirements). The connector is highly reliable, with a long service life, which means it can be used in applications for prolonged periods without the need for replacement or costly repairs.

To ensure a reliable connection between devices, the 103168-6 connector must be properly installed and maintained. This includes proper cleaning of the male pin connectors and the header connector before installation. It is important to ensure that all of the components are properly aligned before connecting, and to avoid overtightening of any of the components. Proper storage is also important, as it can help to prevent damage due to corrosion or other environmental conditions.

The 103168-6 is a reliable, high-performance connector designed for electrical interconnection applications. The two-piece design allows for easy installation, while the plated plastic base and gold-plated contacts provide superior electrical performance. The connector is also designed to meet a wide range of environmental requirements, while offering long-term reliability and performance.
