68602-112HLF

The 68602-112HLF is a six pin header connector with a male pin configuration, which is commonly referred to as a ‘rectangular connector’. It has numerous application fields and has a dependable working principle.

Application Fields

The 68602-112HLF is an ideal choice for applications that require a reliable electrical connection. It is suited to a wide range of low-current signal applications. It can be used in communication, medical, automotive, industrial control, and other PA systems and instrumentation applications. Moreover, its use is pervasive in virtually every electronic product due to its modularity, reliable performance, and wide range of available parts.

The 68602-112HLF is suitable for use in tight spaces due to its small form factor. It is available in both 9 and 15 pin variant, which eliminates the need to rewire for custom applications. It is also dustproof, perfect for applications in harsh and dusty environments.

In addition, it is ideal for applications that require quickly and easy connections and secure mating because of its low-profile design and push-in terminals. The 68602-112HLF is also great for quickly disconnecting and re-connecting circuits during prototyping, testing, or product development.

Working Principle

The 68602-112HLF features a male pin configuration, which is compliant with industry standards and is highly reliable. It is designed with a contact force of 4.5N +/- 0.7N, which ensures that the electrical connection is secure. The contact interface also includes phosphor bronze contacts with tin plating and an insulation displacement contact (IDC) connection. The pins are heat- and temperature-resistant up to 105°C and feature 20 AWG min. insulation displacement.

The 68602-112HLF also features a 420dPI glass-fiber reinforced polyamide insulator that ensures reliable and long-term performance. This insulator is capable of withstanding a voltage of 250V at 30A. The 68602-112HLF is UL- and CSA-approved and RoHS compliant.

The 68602-112HLF is designed for High Retention, which refers to the ability of the header to stay connected to its mating counterpart, even during vibration. This feature is especially useful in applications where the header is physically exposed, like automotive applications.

In summary, the 68602-112HLF is part of the rectangular connector family. It has a broad range of applications due its reliable performance and ease of use. Its male pin configuration and unique features, such as high retention and quick disconnection, makes it an ideal choice for electronic products and harsh environments.
