The 2068321602: This is a 16-position, dual-row header on 3.00 mm pitch — the board footprint matches any Micro-Fit+ receptacle with 16 circuits in a 2x8 layout.
Gold mating face and locking ramp — field-service ready
In a piece of equipment that sees quarterly service, that gold thickness supports well over a decade of field life at the contact interface. This positive lock resists vibration-induced separation — useful in industrial cabinets or mobile equipment where the cable is subject to movement.
Active production, ROHS3, and sourcing posture
Board guide and glow wire — built-in assembly aids
The header includes a board guide feature that helps align the through-hole pins during wave-solder insertion — reduces skew on the pick-and-place line. Glow wire compliance per IEC 60695-2-11 means the housing withstands a 750°C glow-wire test without igniting, a requirement for household appliance and lighting applications.
