BL LP 4 68 S

Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets Overview

The BL LP 4 68 S is a 68-position header connector manufactured by Fischer Elektronik. It features a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and utilizes through-hole termination for PCB mounting. The contacts are constructed from CuSn-alloy with selective gold plating on the contact surface and nickel plus a minimum thickness of unspecified microns on the contact sleeve. This component is designed for precision engineering applications requiring contacts with a diameter of 0.635 mm.
