68461-135HLF

68461-135HLF connectors, or Headers Male Pins, are rectangular connectors used in a wide range of applications, such as wire-tapping, power-linking and board or panel connection. They are capable of achieving fast data transmission, and are designed with surge protection capabilities in mind. The connectors are composed of an insulative base, a metal housing and terminal pins.

The 68461-135HLF connectors feature two positions in a single row, and utilizes standard 0.1 inch (2.54mm) grid spacing between the two pins. It offers Thru-Hole and SMT (Surface Mount Technology) mounting types, along with the ability to select between metal or plastic latches for securing the socket. The connector contacts are gold-plated, and accessible from the top of the housing.

Working principle

The working principle of 68461-135HLF connectors is quite simple. The metal housing of the connector consists of a female socket and a male pin, with protruding pins on the top of the housing. The pins are inserted into the socket and the locking mechanism is activated, forming an electrical connection. The socket provides reliable current or signal flow, protecting the electrical contacts from damage.

Electrical voltage traveling through the contacts creates an electric tension, causing a magnetic field to form in the vicinity of the contacts. This magnetic field essentially "squeezes" the contacts together, which in turn creates a more reliable connection. To improve this magnetic effect, many socket designs feature a tension arm which helps to keep the contacts in place.

Potential Applications

The 68461-135HLF connectors can be used in a multitude of applications. They’re popular in the automotive, industrial, commercial, residential, military and aerospace industries. The sockets are cost-effective and simple to install, which makes them ideal for applications that require rapid assembly time, such as prototyping or wiring a panel.

These connectors can be used universally and are a good choice for applications with a variety of voltage levels and current requirements. The sockets can also be used in high-temperature applications, withstanding operating temperatures of up to +105°C. The connectors also have a high resistance to corrosion and wear.

In conclusion, the 68461-135HLF connectors are an excellent choice for both low and high-level applications. They’re small enough to be used in tight spaces, while offering a reliable electrical connection with excellent surge protection capabilities. The metal housing and gold-plated pins make them highly resistant to corrosion and wear, while the tension arm ensures a secure fit. These connectors are a versatile and cost-effective option for a wide range of applications.
