78207-118HLF

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 78207-118HLF is a rectangular header connector belonging to the Mini-PV and Basics+ series. It features 18 positions in a dual-row configuration with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes male pin contacts made of phosphor bronze, terminated via solder for right-angle through-hole mounting. Insulation is provided by black thermoplastic material rated UL94 V-0. Contact plating consists of gold or GXT™ with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm).

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary
