The 69168-108HLF is a direct equivalent with the same 8 positions and 0.400\" overall length — the HLF suffix typically indicates a lead-free (RoHS-compliant) version. If RoHS compliance is required, the HLF variant is the drop-in replacement.","metaTitle":"69168-108 Amphenol ICC (FCI) Mini-PV™ Header, 8 Pos","metaDescription":"69168-108 Amphenol ICC (FCI) Mini-PV™ header, 8 positions, 0.100\" pitch, dual-row, friction lock, 30 µinch gold plating.
