76308-226LF

Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets – represent an important connection hardware for many applications. 76308-226LF (also known as Molex connector) is one of the several high-efficiency rectangular connectors that makes use of a specialized push-pull mechanism for convenient mating and unmating of the connectors. This is a specialty model of the 2-position female socket that is manufactured by Molex. It provides excellent performance in a range of applications and is designed for secure, consistent and easy latching

Compatibility

76308-226LF is a female socket that provides compatibility with male mates such as 5105-06P, 5156-06P and 40657-06P. This connector offers a reliable connection between modules and boards by providing high-impedance and low inductance. It is compliant with the standards of UL and CUL safety standards and its performance is stated in accordance with the MIL-DTL-55302/H specifications. It features a maximum current rating of 4A and contact resistance of 0.19 mΩ

Mechanism of Working

The plug used for 76308-226LF is a 2-position, polarized male plug and is equipped with two positive locking tabs.
