The 71918-244LF is a shrouded electrical header connector from the QUICKIE product family, designed for reliable PCB interconnection applications. It features a 2x4 (2 rows × 4 columns) position configuration with a standard latch mechanism and lead-free plating (2 µm minimum matte tin over 1.27 µm minimum nickel underplate). The housing is constructed from glass-filled thermoplastic material rated UL94V-0, with phosphor bronze pins for durability and consistent electrical performance. The connector is compatible with wave solder applications at 260°C ±5°C for 5 seconds on 1.6 mm minimum thick circuit boards, and is RoHS compliant. This connector is commonly used in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics where secure, polarized connections and compact form factors are required.
