Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Overview

The Preci-Dip 311-83-161-41-001101 is a 61-position board-to-board socket connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch and utilizes gold-plated female contacts with a thickness of 29.5µin (0.75µm). The housing is constructed from black, glass-filled polycyclohexylene terephthalate (PCT), rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Rated for 3A current, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The connector employs a push-pull locking mechanism and includes tin-plated beryllium copper terminals for soldering.

• Glass-filled PCT insulation offers high thermal stability

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections in industrial control systems
• Signal routing in telecommunications equipment
• Module connections in automotive electronic assemblies

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count configuration against design requirements, as the series includes adjacent 60 and 62-position variants. Confirm that the push-pull locking style matches the mechanical constraints of the assembly. Ensure the operating environment falls within the specified -55°C to 125°C range. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Validate that the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 61-pin interface is required with positive locking features. Compare against standard header/socket pairs if locking is not critical. Consider the 0.161-inch insulation height for vertical clearance limitations. Evaluate the 3A rating against peak load currents. Ensure the 0.100-inch pitch matches the PCB footprint and mating connector dimensions.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This part belongs to the Preci-Dip 311 series of rectangular connectors. The series provides various contact counts and locking styles for board-to-board applications. Similar parts include the 311-83-162-41-001101 (62 positions) and 311-83-121-41-001101 (21 positions). The series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized 0.100-inch spacing.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are limited due to the specific 61-position count and push-pull locking feature. Verify compatibility with mating headers from the same series. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent push-pull sockets only if mechanical and electrical parameters match exactly.
