68622-617

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

The 68622-617 Rectangular Connectors is a combination of headers, receptacles, and female sockets designed for a wide range of application needs. With its high-current, high-frequency, and low-inductance characteristics, it is ideal for applications such as automotive, medical, and industrial power systems.

The 68622-617 headers are a unique, modular design that provide superior design flexibility and increased board-level performance. The component features a 0.100 (2.54mm) centerline spacing and a wide variety of contact choices, allowing for a custom-fit for any application. The receptacles provide a snap-and-lock mechanism for easy insertion and removal of board connections. The female sockets feature sturdy design with integrated locking lever to ensure connections remain secure.

The 68622-617 application field can include automotive, medical, and industrial power systems as well as powering LED lighting fixtures. The device has a current rating of 9A and a peak voltage rating of 1000VAC. The complete solutions offer a low-profile design with an overall height of 8.1mm and a width of 9.85mm. It also features push-on/push-off retention and a single-action latching system, making it suitable for high-density applications.

To ensure reliable and secure signal transmissions, the 68622-617 connectors feature board-to-board shielding and double-shielded contacts. They are constructed with durable, high-temperature resistant PBT polyester for long-term reliability and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The device is ideal for harsh environments and also provides excellent vibration and shock resistance.

The 68622-617 working principle is based on the implementation of an insulation displacement contact (IDC) technique. The IDC technique uses small, pre-formed metal tabs to pierce through the insulation of solid-pin cables, creating a mechanical hold and electrical connection. This technique eliminates the need for soldering and manual crimping. It is a great way to ensure a reliable and secure connection.

The 68622-617 Rectangular Connectors are ideal for a wide range of application needs, offering a modular design for increased board-level performance, secure signal transmissions, low insertion force, and reliable IDC technology. Its features makes it a great choice for automotive, medical, industrial, and LED lighting applications.
