High-temperature nylon housing

Withstands lead-free high-

temperature solder processing up

to +260°C. Does not require the

drying needs of normal nylon

Optional MarKK terminal with four

points of contact

Supports up to 13.0A per circuit.

Ideal for higher power and high-

vibration applications

Polarized friction-lock header

Prevents mismating and ensures

secure mating

Standard KK header footprint

design

Allows for drop-in replacement on

existing header applications. Mates

with standard KK receptacles

Matte-tin over nickel plating

Inhibits tin whiskering

PCB receptacles are available in

standard KK® connectors

Ensures secure mating between

headers and receptacles

Tape-and-reel packaging with

pick-and-place caps available

Enables highly automated termination

processing and accurate PCB placement

Delivering 13.0A and 600V per circuit, the KK® 396 Reflow

Process Compatible (RPC) Connector System suports a

lead-free solder process and is ideal for low- to mid-power

wire-to-board and board-to-board applications

Electronics manufacturers are being driven by consumers and environmental

agencies to be environmentally conscious; one way to do so is to reduce

the amount of lead in components whenever possible. Removing lead from

the connector solder-paste process is one way to conform and adhere to

RoHS initiatives. KK® RPC connectors are lead-free and designed with high-

temperature nylon that can withstand temperatures up to +260°C while

maintaining the standard KK header footprint (lead-filled solder-paste-process

connectors withstand only up to +235°C).
