Gold Plating Depth and Mating Cycle Life
The 68001-136HLF: The 30.0 µinch gold over nickel on the mating face is the same thickness used on the 13-position and 10-position siblings (68001-113HLF, 68001-110HLF). The 36-position variant with 15.0 µinch gold (68001-236HLF) is a lower-cycle-life alternative — half the gold thickness halves the rated mating cycles. For applications requiring frequent disconnect, the 30 µinch version is the correct choice.
