Dubox Board-to-Board Receptacle — 36 Positions, 0.100" Pitch
The 68683-618LF: The through-hole termination and 0.115" (2.92 mm) post length suit it for standard PCB thicknesses in a soldered connection. Tin on the solder tail keeps the board-side cost down without affecting the signal path. The push-pull fastening is a simple board-mate — no latch to break, but no secondary lock either. In high-vibration settings, consider a locking header on the mating half.
Packaged in tube — not tape-and-reel. For automated pick-and-place, factor in tube loading or request alternate packaging from the factory if available.
The push-pull retention relies on contact friction; the 30 µinch gold interface keeps contact resistance stable over 500+ cycles. Confirm the header's mated stack height against your board-to-board spacing before layout.
Application Range and Compliance
Listed for automotive, industrial, general purpose, and telecommunications use. The LF suffix indicates lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish — no additional plating restriction for the board assembly.
