68648-015

Molex’s 68648-015 series rectangular connectors consist of headers and male pins. These connectors are designed to offer a cost effective and reliable option for PCB-to-PCB connections. A variety of different configurations are available, allowing the user to select the most suitable one for his/her application based on its purpose and the board space available.

The headers for this series feature a 2.54 mm pitch and are made with UL approved 94V-0 nylon. They are intended to connect two printed circuit boards together, and feature two sets of receptors or pins which are spaced 2.54 mm apart. The 68648-015 series offers a total of 20 available positions with optional rubber boots that can be used for user or environmental seals, making them ideal for a number of applications that require water, dust, and contamination-proof connections. The headers and pins are also compatible with all .025″ square post standard crimp sleeves.

The male pins for this series are designed with a 2.54 mm spacing pitch just like the headers. They are available in various lengths to fit a variety of board thicknesses, and feature simple bend-pin retention technology that eliminates the need for additional hardware like screws. The male pins are compliant with both the UL 94V-0 flammability requirements as well as the RoHS Directive requirements.

The 68648-015 rectangular connectors are suitable for a variety of applications including automotive switches, audio systems, consumer equipments, audio/video equipment, communication and data connectors, military and aerospace, and medical devices. These connectors also feature reliable contact leads and superior performance, making them a great choice for a variety of applications that require reliable electrical connection.

The working principle of Molex 68648-015 series rectangular connectors is simple yet effective. When the header is mated to the corresponding male pin, two electrical pathways are formed – one for each side of the board. When the pins are inserted into their respective receptacles, the connection remains secure and reliable. The pins are kept secure by the “bend-pin” retention system, which uses a small clamp to keep the pins from slipping out. These connectors are designed to provide a low-cost, reliable, and robust connection between two electrical circuits, making them a great choice for a variety of applications.
