This SCSI connector is manufactured and supplied by KINKUO ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
The SCSI-II 68Pin Female R/A DIP Type Connector For PCB is part of the SCSI-II Series range and is supplied in stock from our factory in Dongguan. The 68-pin SCSI-II connector continues to appear in servo drives, tape libraries and legacy test equipment that will stay in service for years. Keeping a stocked supply means a failed cable becomes a same-week fix rather than a redesign. This SCSI connector is supplied in stock with a documented test report.

Quality assurance
Termination and board integration
SCSI-format connectors are used well beyond storage today, mainly for Camera Link, motion-controller I/O and instrumentation. The family has been in production for decades, so the tooling is mature and the mechanical tolerances are predictable — which is exactly why it remains a sensible choice for multi-channel signal routing.
- Solder-cup termination suits low and medium volumes and field repair; crimp termination gives more consistent joints at volume when the correct die set is used.
- Right-angle PCB versions save enclosure depth, while vertical versions simplify hand assembly on taller boards.
- Board locks keep the connector seated during reflow and prevent the solder joints carrying the cable load.
- Choose a die-cast zinc hood over ABS where the cable runs beside drive cabling — the additional shielding mass makes a measurable difference.
- Confirm the mating retention type (screw or latch) against how often the cable is disconnected in service.
Common questions
Which pin count should I specify for a new design?
Match the interface you are implementing. Where the interface is not fixed, leave spare positions — filling a connector to capacity removes any headroom for a later revision.
Can I mix MDR and SDR connectors in one system?
You can, but they require different cable assemblies and hoods. SDR is the higher-density option at 0.635 mm pitch; MDR at 1.27 mm pitch is easier to assemble and service.
Understanding the specification
The figures in the table above are not independent of one another. Read together they describe how this SCSI-II 68Pin Female R/A DIP Type Connector For PCB will behave in service, and where the practical limits sit once it is installed in equipment rather than tested on a bench.
- Positions (68): Position count sets how many independent circuits the interface carries. Higher counts raise contact density, which makes correct insertion alignment and contact retention more critical than on a low-count connector.
- Gender (Male): Gender is determined by the mating half already fixed in your design. Male contacts are more exposed and therefore need greater care during handling and storage.
- Termination (Solder): Termination method affects repeatability more than it affects peak performance. Crimp joints are controlled by tooling; solder joints are controlled by the operator.
- Contact plating (Gold over nickel): Plating governs contact resistance stability over time. Gold over a nickel barrier is the standard choice where low, repeatable resistance matters across many mating cycles.
- Shell (Zinc alloy):
- Operating temperature (-25 °C to +105 °C): Temperature range reflects both the insulator and the plating system. The upper limit is usually set by the plastic, the lower by mechanical embrittlement.
Selecting a SCSI connector
Start with the interface, not the connector. Camera Link, LVDS and legacy SCSI control interfaces each specify a pin count and a retention method, and choosing a compatible part is simply a matter of matching those two attributes plus the mounting style.
Pin count follows the channel requirement. Leave spare positions where the interface is not fixed by a standard; a connector filled to capacity leaves no headroom for a later revision, and the cost of a higher-count part is small compared with a redesign.
Termination and mounting come next. Solder cups suit low and medium volumes and field repair; crimp contacts give more consistent results once the correct die set is in use. Right-angle board versions save enclosure depth, while vertical versions simplify hand assembly on taller boards.
Finally, decide on the hood. A die-cast zinc hood provides genuinely useful shielding mass where the cable runs alongside drive cabling; an ABS hood is lighter and cheaper for general signal cabling. This is the decision that most often separates a link that works from one that drops frames.
Packaging, delivery and documentation
This item is in stock with a minimum order quantity of 1 pc and a stated lead time of ships within 24 hours. Orders ship on FOB, EXW, CIF or DDP terms as agreed at order confirmation, with real-time tracking provided once the shipment is booked.
Packaging is specified to survive international freight rather than to minimise volume. Connectors are supplied in anti-static packaging with pin protection where the contact geometry requires it; cable assemblies are coiled to a radius that respects the flex specification and secured so the assembly cannot move in transit. Both ends are labelled on multi-channel assemblies so a field replacement cannot be mis-wired.
Every shipment is accompanied by a test report covering continuity, dielectric strength, insulation resistance and any application-specific measurement performed. Where your quality system requires material declarations, batch traceability or joint sampling and sealing, confirm the requirement at the enquiry stage and we will build it into the order rather than adding it after production.
Further questions
Can I get a sample before committing to a production order?
Yes. Samples for engineering validation are dispatched within 24 hours for stocked items, and within the quoted production lead time for made-to-order assemblies. Every sample ships with its test report so that your validation is based on measured performance rather than on appearance.
What happens if the part does not fit the application?
Send us the mating half, a photograph or the equipment model and we will identify why. In most cases the answer is a different keying or coupling variant of the same family rather than a completely different product, and we would rather resolve it before you place a volume order than after.
Do you hold stock for repeat orders?
Stocked lines are held with safety quantity, and made-to-order tooling is retained so a repeat order does not repeat the tooling cost. For scheduled programmes we can agree a call-off arrangement that keeps material allocated against your forecast.
How this connector is manufactured and tested
Production starts with incoming material control. Housings, contacts, shells and plating are checked against specification on receipt, covering dimensional accuracy, plating thickness, insulator material and hardness, with material certificates retained against the batch.
Assembly then runs through inspection at every station rather than a single check at the end. Crimp height and pull force are verified where crimp termination is used; contact insertion and retention are confirmed; and the pin-out and keying are checked against the drawing before the part moves on. Because the process is controlled station by station, a drift is corrected inside the batch rather than discovered after several hundred assemblies are complete.
Electrical testing covers continuity and short checking, dielectric strength at the rated voltage, and insulation resistance at 500 V DC. Insertion and withdrawal force is measured against specification on sampled units, and where the application involves repeated mating — test fixtures in particular — we test to the customer's duty cycle rather than to a generic figure. A test report accompanies every shipment.
Where a part carries a custom pin-out or a non-standard shell configuration, a first-article inspection is performed and retained so that subsequent batches can be compared against a documented reference rather than against a drawing alone.
Warranty, returns and technical support
Connectors are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship that appear under normal use for a period of 30 days from delivery, or for the period stated on the order confirmation if different. Where a verified defect is found, we will at our option repair, replace or refund the affected goods. The warranty does not cover damage arising from incorrect insertion force, contamination at the mating face, use outside the published ratings, or unauthorised modification.
Returns require a return authorisation before shipment, and goods should be retained in their original condition pending inspection. Stocked items returned unused in original packaging may be accepted within 30 days subject to a restocking assessment; assemblies built to a customer drawing are not returnable unless defective.
Technical support is provided by the same engineers who handle the specification, not by a separate call centre. If a SCSI-II 68Pin Female R/A DIP Type Connector For PCB behaves unexpectedly in service, send us the installation detail — cable length, routing, environment and the symptom pattern — and we will work through the likely causes with you. Enquiries are answered within two hours during business days, and on-site technical support can be arranged for programmes where that is more practical than remote diagnosis.
Ordering checklist
To quote accurately and avoid a second iteration, we need the part number or the original manufacturer reference, the quantity required for validation and for production, the required delivery date, and the destination country so that the correct Incoterm can be applied. Where the item is a replacement for an obsolete part, a photograph of the existing connector and the equipment model will usually let us confirm the equivalent without a sample.
If your quality system requires material declarations, batch traceability, joint sampling and sealing, or a first-article inspection report, state that at the enquiry stage. These can all be accommodated, but retrofitting them into a production schedule costs more time than building them in from the start.
Technical documents
The original drawings and datasheets for this part are available to download. They are the documents issued by the manufacturer and are the reference to quote against when confirming a specification or a cross-reference.
If you need a document that is not listed here — a material declaration, a test report for a specific batch, or a dimensioned drawing in a different format — send the request to King@KinKuo.com and we will confirm availability.
