What this connector is
The 68000-417HLF: The housing is UL94 V-0 rated black thermoplastic and the operating window spans -65°C to 125°C — wide enough for most industrial automation and telecom backplane environments. The push-pull fastening type means the header relies on friction and pin engagement rather than a locking latch or screw; it is unshrouded, so there is no polarisation key on the housing itself.
Board layout and contact geometry
Rated 3 A per contact with tin plating on the mating surface — that current figure applies to each circuit independently. The 100 µin tin finish gives solid solderability and reasonable repeated-mating durability; it is not a gold-plated grade, so for high-cycle field connections the harness builder should confirm whether a separate shrouded housing or card-edge guide is needed to reduce insertion wear on the exposed pins.
Sourcing and lifecycle
Listed Active — quoted to order against BOM quantity. No official successor or cross-reference part number appears in the record for this specific 17-position variant.
