18-Position Vertical Header with Friction Lock
The 69168-118HLF: This is an 18-position, 2-row vertical pin header from the Mini-PV™, Basics+ series by Amphenol ICC (FCI). It mates with a Mini-PV™ receptacle housing (such as the 65039-xxx series) for a board-to-cable connection. A friction lock on the top wall holds the mating housing securely — useful in applications where vibration or cable tug could otherwise separate the pair.
Insulation height of 0.386" (9.80mm) leaves clearance above the board for routing or for a mating connector body.
Bulk packaging — no tape-and-reel or tube; ordered by the piece.
How 18 Positions Compare to the 16-Position Sibling
If your board layout has the extra two positions populated, the 18-position version is the correct drop-in; the 16-position version leaves the last two holes empty.
