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
The KK
®
Reflow Process Compatible (RPC) connector system is designed to
support RoHS lead-free initiatives. Designed with a nylon housing, the wire-to-
board system can withstand temperatures up to +260°C.

Features and Benefits
High-temperature nylon housing
Withstands lead-free high-
temperature solder processing up
to +260°C. Does not require the
drying needs of normal nylon
Support up to 13.0A per circuit.
Ideal for higher power and high-
vibration applications
Prevents mismating
Allows for drop-in replacement on
existing header applications. Mates
with standard KK receptacles
Inhibits tin whiskering
Ensures secure mating between
headers and receptacles
