The 91687-336LF is a rectangular connector, specifically a Header, Male Pin. This type of connector is a normally used for joining two or more circuits. The male pin(s) is(are) inserted in the socket (female receptacle) and forms an electrical connection. The 91687-336LF is a heavy-duty industrial grade connector, most commonly used in military and aerospace applications.
The 91687-336LF employs a 2 row x 30 pin pin configuration. Each row contains 15 pins, with the outside pins indicated because they have a smaller distance between them due to the usage of fixing screw holes to secure the entire pin header to a board or surface. This increases stability in case of high currents. Each pin has a 0.062” diameter and feature gold-over-nickel plating to ensure reliable electrical contact and low contact resistance. The length of the 91687-336LF is around 2.08”. It has a double row, with a 0.100" centerline. The pin orientation is perpendicular to the centerline.
The 91687-336LF housing is made of polyester material, giving the connector high levels of insulation and creepage protection. The operating temperature of the connector ranges from -65°C to +125°C. It is also rated for currents up to 5A, and can be used with unshielded wire. It also provides a very secure connection thanks to its wide surface contact areas, which helps reduce the risk of intermittent electrical contact issues.
The 91687-336LF is an ideal connector for applications in harsh environments where high levels of vibration and shock are expected. Its robust construction, combined with gold-over-nickel plating, delivers excellent electrical performance and reliability. Its gold plating also increases its corrosion and erosion resistance. It also has a wide operating temperature range making it more suitable for applications exposed to extreme temperatures.
In terms of application fields, the 91687-336LF is commonly employed in both military and aerospace applications due to its high level of performance and reliability. It can also be used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications. Due to its high contact density and reliable electrical performance, it is also well suited for applications where space is a constraint. Its proven performance in harsh environments and temperature extremes make it the optimal solution for applications where reliable electrical connections are paramount.
In conclusion, the 91687-336LF is a robust and reliable connector, characterized by high levels of performance, reseilience and corrosion resistance. Its gold plated contacts, combined with its wide operating temperature range, make it ideal for applications in harsh environments. It is most commonly employed in military and aerospace applications due to its performance and reliability, but it can also be used in a wide variety of commercial and industrial situations.
