GENERAL
1.1
Scope
This specification covers the Friction Latch Header Connector, a header designed for use in low-
power applications requiring a printed wiring board mounted straight or right angle disconnect. The
header provides only the male half of the interconnection, using 0.025 square female Mini Latch
Housing connector to complete the connection. This product can be Lead Free and meets the
requirements of the European union Directive of Restrictions for Hazardous Substances (directive
2002/95/EC. The friction latch, provided by long plastic ledges, act as locking system with female
housing to prevent unmating, due to vibration in operation. The specification is composed of the
following sections:
