68438-208HLF

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins, are widely used in electrical and electronic equipment. The 68438-208HLF is one such type.

Description

The 68438-208HLF is an 8-pin male header connector with a retention latch. This latch can help with mating retention, helping to prevent unintentional unmating. This connector has gold-plated contacts and is available in either vertical or horizontal mounting styles. It has an operating temperature range of -30°C to +125°C. This connector is also RoHS compliant.

Application Field

The 68438-208HLF is designed for use in a wide range of applications, including circuit boards, PCBs (printed circuit boards), and other electrical/electronic equipment. These connectors are especially useful for connecting circuit boards, testing equipment, and MEMs (micro electro mechanical systems). Additionally, these connectors can be used in data communication applications, including networking, audio/video, telecommunication, and computer systems.

Working Principle

The 68438-208HLF uses male pins that are inserted into corresponding female connectors. Once inserted, the pins make contact with the female connector, which forms an electrical connection. The satisfaction of the latch ensures that the connection is secure and will not move or come apart unintentionally. The gold-plated contacts increase the conductivity of the connection, minimizing resistance and ensuring an efficient and reliable connection.

Conclusion

The 68438-208HLF is a 8-pin male header connector with a retention latch. It is designed for use in a wide range of applications, including circuit boards, PCBs, and other electrical/electronic equipment. It operates via male pins that are inserted into corresponding female connectors, and the satisfaction of the latch ensures a secure connection. The gold-plated contacts increase the conductivity of the connection, making the 68438-208HLF an efficient and reliable connector.
