What this 60-position CHAMP .050 I receptacle does
The TE Connectivity 1734101-6 is a 60-position board-to-board receptacle from the CHAMP.050 I series. It uses an outer shroud contact arrangement in two rows, designed to mate with a matching 60-position header in a vertical, through-hole solder assembly. The board guide and board lock features help align the connector during placement and hold it in place through the solder wave, which is useful when the board goes through reflow for other components first.
Why the gold flash matters for your duty cycle
The contacts carry a gold flash finish, which is the thinnest grade of gold plating. If your application needs frequent field reconnections, look for a sibling with thicker gold plating in the CHAMP.050 I family.
Mounting and alignment features
The board guide provides coarse alignment during mating, which reduces the chance of bending pins when the header is brought in at an angle. The tube packaging keeps the tails straight for automated insertion.
