Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering number, such as 68F1106, against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to ensure exact part matching. Confirm that the required quantity aligns with supplier availability and that the through-hole package type meets your PCB layout specifications before finalizing procurement actions.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Selection Notes

Select this model when a 17-contact female header with a 2.54 mm pitch is required for through-hole applications. The gold-plated inner spring contact design offers superior reliability compared to standard tin-plated alternatives, making it suitable for environments where long-term connection stability is critical.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Part Context

This component is part of the Fischer Elektronik BL 5 series, which includes various pin counts ranging from smaller configurations like the BL 5 5 to larger ones such as the BL 5 36 Z. The series is standardized around a 2.54 mm pitch, providing a consistent mechanical footprint across different channel counts for modular design flexibility.

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include other BL 5 variants with different pin counts, such as the BL 5 9 or BL 5 8, provided the interface requirements differ only in position count. Ensure any replacement maintains the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole mounting style.
