72-Position Dual-Row Dubox Receptacle — 2.54mm Pitch
The 68683-236LF: With all 72 positions loaded, the board layout needs to route two rows of through-hole solder tails at 2.54mm row spacing, which keeps the routing density manageable on a two-layer board. The tin-plated solder posts (100.0µin thickness) wet well during wave solder and are compatible with standard through-hole assembly.
1000V Creepage and Temperature Range
A 1000V rating on a 2.54mm pitch signal connector is unusual — it signals generous creepage distances between adjacent contacts, likely from the 7.00mm insulation height and the PPS material's tracking resistance. This makes the part suitable for power distribution boards where signal and low-voltage power share the same connector. The glass-filled PPS housing doesn't soften or warp at the upper end, and the phosphor bronze contacts maintain spring force across the temperature swing.
Available in tube packaging.
Application Fit: Automotive, Industrial, Telecom
For automotive use, the 15.0µin gold meets the USCAR-2 minimum for signal contacts in non-sealed environments, though the push-pull fastening means it won't tolerate high vibration without an additional locking mechanism — board-level retention relies on the solder joints. In telecom or industrial control cabinets, the 2.54mm pitch and dual-row layout let it replace a pair of single-row headers on the same board footprint, saving z-height.
