Product details

8-position, 0.100-inch pitch, right-angle header with friction lock

The 281698-8: Shrouded with two walls and a friction lock, this header protects the square male pins during mating and resists un-mating under vibration — a solid choice for a cable-to-board interconnect in a machine control cabinet or test fixture.

Rated temperature range and flammability rating

The temperature envelope covers most industrial and telecom indoor environments; the V-0 rating means it passes the flammability test for equipment inside an enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pitch of 281698-8?

The mating pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm), single row, 8 positions loaded.

Is 281698-8 shrouded?

Yes, it is a shrouded header with two walls. The shroud protects the male pins during mating and reduces the risk of bent pins in blind-mate applications.

What is the fastening type of 281698-8?

The fastening type is a friction lock. It provides positive retention against vibration without requiring a separate latch or screw.
