216791-6

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors's 216791-6 delivers military-grade performance in the Rectangular Connectors - Board In, Direct Wire to Board segment, specifically designed for harsh environment industrial applications. Built to exceed IP68 standards, this connector series withstands extreme pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposure while maintaining signal integrity.The Ribbon Cable, DIP Header configuration features hermetic sealing technology that prevents moisture ingress in subsea applications, making it ideal for offshore oil exploration equipment and deep-sea sensor networks.Scalable from 6 positions, this connector family supports everything from simple sensor interfaces to complex multiplexed systems in industrial automation and process control environments.Precision 0.050" (1.27mm) alignment ensures consistent performance in distributed control systems where signal timing affects synchronized operation of industrial machinery.The 0.100" (2.54mm) board interface accommodates thick conformal coatings used in industrial PCBs exposed to conductive dust and corrosive atmospheres.The 2-row design incorporates redundant sealing barriers that maintain environmental protection even under constant vibration, critical for mining equipment and heavy machinery controls.0.100" (2.54mm) clearance between rows prevents arc-over in high-voltage industrial equipment like transformer monitoring systems and power factor correction controls.Through Hole, Press-Fit mounting provides exceptional mechanical stability for panel-mounted industrial equipment subject to frequent operator interaction and mechanical stress.Employing IDC technology, the connector achieves gas-tight seals resistant to hydraulic fluids and industrial solvents, ensuring reliability in steel mill controls and chemical processing plants.The Feed Through include integrated strain relief and anti-vibration locking mechanisms that prevent connection failure in paper mill equipment and other high-vibration industrial environments.Tin plating resists sulfide attack in wastewater treatment applications while maintaining low contact resistance for precise sensor measurements in industrial IoT systems.With 118.1µin (3.00µm) plating, the contacts withstand the abrasive effects of particulate matter in cement plant controls and other dusty industrial environments.The Gray housing incorporates chemical-resistant polymers that maintain structural integrity in petrochemical plants where exposure to hydrocarbons would degrade standard materials.
