68-Position CHAMP .050 I Receptacle — Right-Angle, Board-Locked
The TE Connectivity 1734037-7 is a 68-position board-to-board receptacle from the CHAMP.050 I series, configured with outer shroud contacts and a right-angle through-hole termination. The 68 circuits in a dual-row layout serve dense parallel-board interconnects where signal count drives the BOM line. Gold flash on the contacts provides a corrosion-resistant mating surface suited for controlled-environment equipment with moderate reconnection duty — think internal server or telecom line-card links rather than field-service harnesses.
Right-Angle Routing and Board-Lock Retention
The through-hole solder tails give a stronger mechanical bond than SMT alone on a 68-position part, and the integrated board locks add a second retention mechanism. For the board layout engineer, the pitch (0.050 inch / 1.27 mm) and dual-row footprint fit a standard CHAMP.050 I land pattern; the outer shroud contacts self-align during mating, reducing pin stubbing risk.
