18-Circuit Dual-Row Header with Friction Lock
The 69168-118AHLF is an 18-position, dual-row shrouded header from the Mini-PV™ and Basics+ series by Amphenol ICC (FCI). The friction lock fastening type holds the mating receptacle in place under moderate vibration without requiring a secondary latch or screw — a practical choice for cable-to-board connections in panels or equipment where the harness is occasionally disconnected for service.
Gold Plating and Contact Design for Repeated Mating
The mating contacts carry 30 µinch (0.76 µm) gold over nickel on the pin surface, with the contact base material being phosphor bronze. The square male pin shape mates with standard crimp-socket receptacles in the same series.
The connector is RoHS-compliant per the manufacturer's standard declaration.
Board Fit and Mating Half Considerations
The friction lock engages with the matching receptacle housing, so confirm the receptacle part number from the same Mini-PV™ or Basics+ series for a secure mate.
