Friction lock holds under vibration
The 76383-320LF: The friction lock on the 2-wall shroud keeps the mating receptacle from backing out — relevant for equipment that sees machine vibration or frequent cable handling.
3 A per contact — signal-level current budget
Rated 3 A per contact, typical for signal-level loads (digital I/O, low-power sensor lines).
Through-hole, right-angle — board-edge routing
Through-hole termination gives a stronger mechanical anchor than SMT for a 40-position connector that sees cable strain. The 0.154" (3.91 mm) post length fits standard 1.6 mm PCBs.
Active production — no obsolescence risk
RoHS compliant; UL94 V-0 rated polyester housing for flame-rated equipment enclosures.
