The 8-215083-6 is a 16-position vertical shrouded?Wire-to-Board Pin Header with tin over nickel-plated phosphor bronze contacts and red GF polyester housing. The Micro-MaTch series plug supports Insulation Displacement Crimp (IDC) termination method to wire/cable. The Micro-MaTch connector family, with its contact spacing of 1.27mm, offers a variety of wire-to-board interconnections. The Micro-MaTch contact helps prevent fretting corrosion, the traditional failure mode in tin-plated connections. Relative movements caused by vibrations/thermal expansion between male and female contacts are absorbed by an additional positioning spring in the female part. By preventing movements on the contact spot, a gas tight connection can make the Micro-MaTch contact spring system fretting corrosion resistant.
