68015-107HLF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins are used in a wide range of applications. The particular item of interest here, 68015-107HLF, provides a means of connecting electronic components and computer systems. This is achieved through a series of metal pins making contact with either sockets or through a board. The 68015-107HLF provides connections apart from current and voltage to other signals such as ground, enabling full communication between components.

Applications

The 68015-107HLF Rectangular Connector - Header, Male Pins is commonly used in commercial, consumer electronics, telecommunications, military and aerospace. With this connector, a low profile design is required, thus facilitating its use in products which require a size as small as possible. Additionally, it provides the reliability to drive signals up to 50 GHz.

Working Principle

The 68015-107HLF contains both male and female pins which provides direct contact with other components. To operate, signals travel through the male pins which make contact with the female socket (which also contains pins). As the pins are pushed together, an electrical current is passed between the two components, allowing for communication to take place.

The pins make contact in two different ways; as when the pins first make contact a shallow connection is made allowing low voltage current to pass. When the pins are held in firm contact a “seat” is formed, increasing the connection to allow for higher voltage and current while maintaining a reliable connection. It is this that enables the connector to pass higher frequencies up to 50 GHZ.

Materials

The 68015-107HLF is constructed of high temperature thermoplastic, with the male pins being made from brass. Additionally, a contact plating of gold, silver, or tin is also applied to the pins and sockets. This provides a reliable connection, while also providing additional protection against corrosion and other wear from the surrounding environment.

Conclusion

The 68015-107HLF Connector - Header, Male Pins is a strong, reliable, and cost-effective means of connecting electronic components. It allows for direct contact between components, provides adequate shielding from external interference, and can be used in tight spaces. Additionally, its ability to pass higher frequencies makes it ideal for use in products requiring such performance.
