The 68016-116HLF: The phosphor bronze contact material balances spring force and conductivity.
16 Positions vs 6: Position Count and Gold Thickness Options
The 68016-116HLF carries 16 positions, all loaded. Another sibling, 68016-206HLF, also 6 positions, uses 15.0 µinch gold instead of 30.0 µinch. For applications with infrequent mating (under 100 cycles), the thinner gold saves cost; the 30 µinch version is the choice for higher cycle life or harsh environments.

Board Fit and Mating Considerations
The right-angle orientation requires a board-edge keep-out zone for the mating connector body — confirm the z-height budget against the mating receptacle's depth.
