8-Circuit Dual-Row Receptacle, 0.098" Pitch, Latch Lock
Its 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and 0.205" (5.20mm) row spacing define the mating header footprint — confirm these match your existing board layout before specifying. The housing is free-hanging (in-line), with crimp termination for the female socket contacts — meaning the harness is built on the wire, then the receptacle is plugged into the header. The black polyester insulation material holds up in the -40°C to 80°C operating range, covering most indoor industrial and automotive cabin environments, but not under-hood or high-heat zones.
This 8-circuit, dual-row receptacle mates with an 8-position, 2-row pin header at 0.098" pitch and 0.205" row spacing.
The female socket contacts are crimp-terminated — you select the terminal separately based on your wire gauge. The 68508 series typically accepts 20-24 AWG with the matching Molex crimp terminal. The dual-row arrangement means the wire exit is in-line with the housing axis, which keeps the harness profile narrow for routing through cable ties or conduit. The latch lock provides audible feedback on full mate, and the polyester housing resists common workshop solvents.
