67208-017

Connector technology is essential for many electrical projects, as it is necessary to link electrical components together to ensure correct functioning. The 67208-017 connector is a member of the vast rectangular connector family, which includes headers, receptacles, female sockets, board locks, and numerous other types.

The 67208-017 connector is usually used in telecom equipment, data communications, and computer applications. It is also suitable for large-scale industrial applications, where space is limited and a minimalist approach is preferred. This connector allows multiple components to be connected at one time without the need for additional wiring, which ultimately reduces labor costs.

The 67208-017 connector has several key features, making it particularly efficient. It has self-retentive contacts, meaning that when the contacts are connected, they stay in place, preventing the connection from becoming loose over time. It also boasts a low insertion force, meaning that mating two connectors takes only a fraction of the effort compared to traditional connectors. This is especially beneficial in cases where multiple connections must be made in a short period of time.

In terms of how the 67208-017 connector works, it is fairly straightforward. On one side, a straddle mount receptacle mates with the board locks, and on the other side, the wires are soldered or crimped into a female socket. Once the wires are connected, the receptacle is inserted into the locking mechanism of the board locks, which provides a secure connection and ensures that the contacts remain connected. In this setup, the male sockets are used to connect the various components, and the female sockets provide the electrical connection within the cable.

The 67208-017 is a reliable, robust product that can handle a wide range of applications. It is particularly beneficial in cases where multiple connections must be made quickly and where space is limited. Its self-retentive contacts and low insertion force make it a highly efficient option for a variety of applications, ensuring that the connections are secure and that the process is fast and simple.
