Additional Details

The 18FMN-STK-A receptacle housing is designed to be used with compatible crimp contacts, which are sold separately. The number of positions (18) indicates the number of individual wires that can be connected through this housing. The housing material is typically a durable plastic that provides insulation and protection for the electrical connections. The locking feature ensures that the connector remains securely mated, even in environments with vibration or shock. The pitch (distance between contacts) is usually small, allowing for dense connections on the board. For detailed specifications, including pitch, mating connector information, and wire gauge compatibility, refer to the manufacturer's datasheet.
