Rectangular connectors are an important part of modern electrical systems, and the 68498-236HLF male pin header is a prime example. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the application field and working principle of the 68498-236HLF male pin header.

Description and Dimensions

The 68498-236HLF is a male pin header with a constructed depth of 2.54 mm. It has a total of 16 terminals for making connections, which are evenly spread over a 2 x 8 or a 2 x 16 pin configuration. The terminal style is square and holes in the mounting area are made compatible with M2 screws for added security. The total width of the header spans 15.87 mm.

Manufactured with 0.7mm dia. pins, the 68498-236HLF is designed for insertion into a 2.5mm pitch SMT female header. Its overall dimensions are 37.7mm x 15.87mm x 2.54mm, and the contacts are silver plated in order to ensure improved resistance to oxidation.

Application Fields

The 68498-236HLF male pin header from TE Connectivity is designed and intended to be used with circuit board assemblies, particularly those where the contact needs to be securely locked to ensure electrical continuity.The latch clip is also designed to self-lock onto a printed circuit board (PCB) after insertion, providing added protection in harsh environments where there might be vibration/shock.

This male pin header is suitable for industrial and automotive applications with resistance to heat of up to 125˚C and reliable performance at temperatures ranging from -40˚C to +85˚C. Given its low profile design, lead-free pins, and overall reliability, the 68498-236HLF male pin header is an ideal choice for applications that require secure and reliable electrical connections.

Working Principle of the 68498-236HLF

The 68498-236HLF male pin header is based on the typical male pin header design. It is constructed with premolded plastic or metal contact blocks that contain metal terminals in the form of pogo pins. The pin contacts and the header are connected using solder technology for improved electrical performance and high-reliability operation.

A latch clip is used to securely lock the contact onto the PCB after insertion, further ensuring that the connection stays in place. When mated with a female header of the same pitch, the contacts of the 68498-236HLF male pin header make electrical contact with the mating female contacts to complete the connection. The pins are designed to withstand a force of 15lbs pull-up without separation.

Advantages

The 68498-236HLF male pin header offers multiple advantages which make it a great choice for industrial and automotive electronics systems. Its low profile design ensures that it takes up minimal space, and the latched contacts ensure secure connections. The connector also has good resistance to EMI and short-circuit protection, further improving the reliability of the system.

The soldered contacts and latch clip ensure durability and improved electrical performance even in harsh environments. The material used for manufacturing the connector also provides protection against corrosion, further ensuring its longevity. Overall, the 68498-236HLF is designed for reliable, secure, and durable operation in highly demanding applications.
