The 15µinch gold-over-nickel mating finish (Gold or GXT™) supports a minimum of several hundred mating cycles — appropriate for production harnesses or test fixtures where the connector sees repeated disconnects. ## Position Count vs. Siblings – 8 Circuits vs. 6, 5, and 4 This 8-position variant (68000-208HLF) shares the same 0.100\" pitch, 3A rating, 15µinch gold finish, and 0.425\" overall length with the 6-position (68000-206HLF), 5-position (68000-205HLF), and 4-position (68000-204HLF) siblings.
