Characteristics
- Audio connectors
- 10-pin
- Hard gold-plated spring contacts: excellent contact resistance and efficient self-cleaning
- Extreme durability: 5000 mating cycles
- Scoop-proof: Protects the pin contacts from contact and damage (e.g. when blind mating)
- Contact selection: solder contacts or contacts for PCB termination
- Operating temperature range -57 °C to +85 °C
