Connectors Add Keying And Active Latching Options

The single-row, 2.54-mm pitch Clincher connectors are now available with options for keying and active latching, making them suitable for more applications. The addition of polarization keys ensures proper connector orientation to corresponding shrouded headers, and active latching options protect against accidental un-mating. Additionally, Clinchers with active latch and polarization keys have been narrowed to mate with all industry standard shrouded headers and are available in six through 34 positions. The 10027313 series provides keyed receptacle assemblies while the 10022753 series receptacle assemblies include keying and active-latch features. Pricing for the keyed and latching keyed versions in tin lead are $0.14 per contact. FCI ELECTRONICS, Etters, PA. (800-) 237-2374.
