68021-426HLF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins is a classification of male pins, headers and connectors used in a variety of applications. The 68021-426HLF is one of these connectors, and it has a wide array of uses due to its capabilities. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 68021-426HLF.

Application Field

The 68021-426HLF is a four-pin male header making it ideal for applications that require small form factor connectors. This connector is perfect for applications that require complex circuitry due to its reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability. Furthermore, it can be used in workplaces where flame retardancy and hazardous gas emitting requirements are needed due to its Self-extinguishing Polyamide 6.6 housing, which helps to meet the relevant requirements of the UL 94 V-0 certification.

It is mainly used in the communication industry, especially in products which require high-speed signal transmission, as due to its pin-and-socket contact makes it easier for pin insertion and the electrical contact is reliable and stable even under extreme voltage and current changes.

Other industries where it is commonly used include automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics, due to its reliable performance and ease of integration into a wide variety of applications.

Working Principle

The 68021-426HLF is a four-pin male header with pin housings designed for reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability. The electrical contact is provided by a pin-and-socket contact system, allowing for easy pin insertion and reliable electrical contact even under extreme voltage and current changes. Interchangeability between the connectors is ensured by construction based on the ASTM A 9179 standard.

The mechanical stability of the connectors is further increased by use of a self-extinguishing Polyamide 6.6 housing, which helps to meet the relevant requirements of the UL 94 V-0 certification. To hold the contacts firmly in position, a ratchet lock is included.Interchangeability between the connectors is ensured by construction based on the ASTM A 9179 standard.

The 68021-426HLF connectors are rated for a 1000VAC/DC voltage between contacts and a maximum 6A per contact for a maximum temperature of 105°C. The contacts are made of brass and have gold-plated surfaces for reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. Finally, the connectors are provided with a strain relief system to protect the contacts from mechanical stress.
