68743-172HLF

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins – are some of the most widely utilized electrical connection products and are often found in automotive, consumer and industrial applications. The 68743-172HLF is a type of rectangular header, male pin connector that features two signal contacts for greater compatibility and durability. This type of connector is used in a variety of applications and offers several advantages.

The 68743-172HLF is a single-ended, non-keyed male pin connector with two signal contacts. The contacts are designed to effectively transfer heat away from the connection while the outer shell provides EMI/RFI protection and environmental seal. The connector also includes built-in strain relief and strain-relief components to ensure that the connection is secure and reliable. The connector is constructed with stainless steel body and contacts and is UL recognized.

The 68743-172HLF is ideal for use in automotive, consumer and industrial applications such as ignition systems, engine controls, lighting systems, HVAC systems, and communications systems. The connector can be used to join wires and other components in a multitude of ways and is designed to provide a reliable connection even in the presence of vibration or extreme temperatures. This type of connector is also often used in the medical industry for instrumentation, monitoring, and diagnostic applications where durability and reliability are of paramount importance.

The working principle of the 68743-172HLF is fairly simple. When the male pin is inserted into a female receptacle, the spring contacts inside the connector causes the pin to be pressed against the inside walls of the receptacle. This contact between the two causes the electrical connection to be secure and reliable. The outer shell of the connector then seals the connection and provides EMI/RFI protection.

In summary, the 68743-172HLF is a type of rectangular header, male pin connector that is designed for a variety of applications. It features two signal contacts for greater compatibility and durability and includes strain relief and seal components for secure and reliable connections. This type of connector is ideal for automotive, consumer and industrial applications and is often found in medical instrumentation applications. The working principle of the connector is such that the spring contact inside the connector presses the pin against the inside walls of the female receptacle creating a secure and reliable connection.
