Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins - 69168-230HLF Application Field and Working Principle

The 69168-230HLF is a one-piece rectangular connector, which cannot be easily detached. It is used in the connection of devices and other types of electrical circuits and is a type of header and male pin combination. It is typically used in applications that need a higher degree of insulation due to its ability to provide strong, reliable connections in confined spaces.

Design

The 69168-230HLF has a 2 rows by 6 pins configuration with a .100” pin to receptacle spacing. It is rated for 10 Amps, 250V AC or/and 10 Amps, 1.2kV AC, and is UL-listed. The header is tin-plated copper alloy and the male pins are stamped brass.

Applications

The 69168-230HLF is commonly used in fixed commercial, industrial, and automotive applications, including automobiles, electrical and electronic appliances, lighting fixtures, tools, power supplies, and any other devices that require a strong and reliable connection. It’s also used in cable and wire harnesses for better connection and insulation.

Working Principle

The 69168-230HLF takes advantage of the fact that, when the male pin is inserted into the header, the two electrically conductive parts are fit together tightly. This is because the male pins are made of a hard, spring-like material which provides an effective electrical contact when the connector is energized. This means that the electrical currents will be able to flow from the male pin to the header without a significant voltage drop.

The 69168-230HLF is also designed to provide a reliable and secure connection. This is accomplished by the mechanical design of the header which has a number of stiff plastic ridges on the surface that lock the male pins in place. This ensures that the male pins are locked into the header and prevents them from coming loose during operation, providing a secure and durable connection.
