Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify that the required part number matches the exact specification of 68 positions with a 2.54 mm pitch. Confirm the mounting style is through-hole straight and the series is BL 2. Ensure the application environment is compatible with the mechanical forces defined in the datasheet, specifically the insertion and drawing force limits. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm current availability and compliance status before procurement.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68-position header is required for direct PCB mounting. The choice is driven by the need for a 2.54 mm grid spacing and a two-row configuration. Consider the mechanical constraints, such as the 1.55 mm insert depth and the specific fork contact geometry. This model is suitable for applications where the defined insertion and drawing forces align with the assembly requirements.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik BL 2 series, which utilizes stamped contact springs. The series is characterized by a fork contact design optimized for a 0.635 mm separable pitch mechanism. The BL 2 68 Z represents a specific variant within this family, distinguished by its 68-pin count and through-hole termination method.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with mating connectors based on the 2.54 mm pitch and fork contact interface before considering alternative sources.
