Kyocera Elco developed Series 5668 for devices in navigation systems, AV equipment of vehicles, and industrial or medical electronic equipment.

2. The original "Twin-rib" structure eliminates foreign matters such as splash of flux and chips of board separation, and ensures high contact reliability.
3. It enables to lay out patterns between rows of connector leads because the dead space is small owing to no exposure of metal on the bottom surface of the connector, which is the most suitable structure for the high density package.
4. The operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C is best suited to equipment for automobile use.
5. Packaged in tape and reel: 400 pieces/reel.
