68669-008LF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68669-008LF is a rectangular connector housing belonging to the Minitek Multipitch series. It features an 8-position socket configuration with a 1.50mm pitch. The component utilizes a natural-colored polyamide insulation material and employs a crimp termination method for contacts, which are sold separately. Designed for free-hanging installation, it incorporates pin lock and connector position assurance (CPA) mechanisms to ensure secure mating. The housing supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C and includes terminal position assurance (TPA) for reliable electrical connection integrity.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Incorporates Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) mechanisms to prevent misalignment and ensure secure mating engagement.
• Features a pin lock system designed to maintain positive retention between the housing and the corresponding header during operation.
• Constructed from natural-colored polyamide (PA66) insulation material rated for high-temperature environments up to 105°C.
• Designed for free-hanging mounting applications with a compact 1.50mm pitch profile suitable for dense circuit board layouts.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Wire-to-board interconnections in industrial control systems
• Signal routing in consumer electronic devices requiring secure locking
• Automotive electronics harnesses utilizing low-profile connectors
• Telecommunications equipment internal wiring assemblies

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 8-position configuration and 1.50mm pitch before ordering. Confirm that compatible crimp contacts are sourced separately as they are not included with the housing. Ensure the selected contacts match the wire gauge requirements of the application. Check for any recent product change notices or end-of-life announcements associated with this component family.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this housing when a secure, locked connection is required for 1.50mm pitch applications. The CPA feature makes it suitable for environments where vibration resistance is critical. Ensure the mating header also belongs to the Minitek Multipitch series to guarantee compatibility. Consider the natural color coding if visual identification of connector positions is necessary within the assembly.
