Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets provide a versatile and economical means of connecting electrical components in a variety of applications. The 68685-320 series is a single row, female socket designed for applications where flexibility and space optimization is of paramount importance. It is available in various sizes, including 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20. These connectors are commonly used in industrial machinery, telecommunications, automotive, and computer applications.

Features

The 68685-320 series features gold-plated contacts with a reliable soldering connection. It offers a shallow insertion depth of 0.31 inches (7.93 mm), and a contact force of 20N per position. The shrouded design protects against dust and foreign objects, while its locking tab ensures secure mating. This series is also RoHS compliant and provides reliable contact retention to 1,500 mating cycles.

Specifications

The 68685-320 series measures 0.386 inches (9.79mm) in height and is available in current ratings of up to 3A. It also features a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C for reliable performance in a variety of applications. This series is also rated for a dielectric strength of 1,000 volts AC rms.

Applications

The 68685-320 series is well suited for a variety of industrial applications, including telecommunications, medical devices, automotive, and computer systems. Its shallow insertion depth makes it an ideal choice for applications where space optimization is key, such as cell phones and raspberry pi projects. Additionally, its reliable contact retention makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring frequent mating, such as cable connectors and wiring systems.

Working Principle

The 68685-320 series connectors are simple to use and easy to maintain. They feature dual-beam contacts that provide excellent contact retention and reliable performance. When two connectors are mated, the dual beams compress, creating a strong electrical and mechanical connection. The dual-beam assembly also reduces the risk of unreliable contact retention associated with single beam connectors.

These connectors are designed to remain reliable during multiple insertion cycles. The contacts are self-cleaning and self-sustaining due to their flexible beams. This eliminates the need for regular maintenance or cleaning of the contacts, preventing the risk of failure due to the build-up of dirt or debris.

Conclusion

The 68685-320 series is a reliable, low-cost option for connecting electrical components in applications where flexibility and space optimization are top priorities. Its gold-plated contacts provide reliable contact retention and it is rated for up to 3A. This series is ideal for applications such as telecommunications, medical devices, automotive, and computer systems. Its robust design is capable of withstanding up to 1,500 mating cycles before contact retention begins to diminish, and its self-sustaining contacts minimize the need for regular maintenance or cleaning.
