Working Principle of the 68046-346LF Connectors

The 68046-346LF connectors are designed with a two-part construction comprising a housing and an insulator insert. The housing is a two-piece molded plastic material that consists of a socket and a header. The socket and header are each held together by a specific type of locking mechanism. The header contains a male pin which is arranged in a specific pattern. The insulator insert is what secures the pins in a specific pattern of the header. When the assembly is complete, the socket is mated to the header in a specific manner in order to ensure a secure connection between two components.

These connectors have the capability to optimize a connection according to the engineering, design and product needs of a particular application. They are designed to reduce costs while increasing the performance and reliability. Molex’s 68046-346LF connectors are also designed with an anti-vibration feature to ensure the connection is maintained in the harshest conditions. These connectors also provide the most electrical capacity and mechanical strength in a small footprint. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications with diverse requirements.
