It is well suited for harsh conditions, versatile installation options and convenience in compact space. It has reliable front panel mountable locking and can be used for Military/Aerospace, Industrial Control, Telecommunications, Healthcare, Mass Transit, Lighting, I/Os, Appliance, Electric Vehicle, and Semiconductor Markets.

Working Principle

The 67996-218HLF is a header and male connector that provides superior contact tension when mated with a cable assembly. It utilizes header pins with a counter-sunk design to ensure that the header pin seats into the proper location. Once mated, the magnetically held pins securely retain the connection and provide high levels of EMI/RFI shielding as well as unmatched vibration and low insertion/extraction forces. Its counter-sunk design also minimizes stress on its mating cable, which provides additional strain relief and robustness.

The 67996-218HLF also features a pin/socket interface designed for reliable mating with a wide range of SCSI/HDMI/Fiber-Optic cables. It utilizes a gold plated 3 layer crimp with an integrated strain relief boot and provides a high tolerance to corrosion and wear. Its superior design also eliminates the need for a separate strain relief since the strain relief is already incorporated into the connector.

Finally, the 67996-218HLF features four locking lugs for secure cable connection and covers a wide temperature range from -40° C to 125° C. It offers protection against impacts and water ingress, as well as extremely reliable electrical and mechanical connection. It also offers a variety of mounting options such as stackable, right angle, and vertical.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 67996-218HLF is an innovative header and male connector designed for harsh environmental conditions. It is ideal for military/aerospace, industrial control, and lighting applications to name a few. It provides reliable front panel mountable locking and utilizes a pin/socket interface designed for reliable mating with a wide range of SCSI/HDMI/Fiber-Optic cables. It offers a variety of mounting options, a high tolerance to corrosion and wear, and protection against impacts and water ingress.
