2-Pin Shunt for 0.100" Headers
The 71363-302LF: The Open Top profile exposes the contact beams — handy for probing or visual inspection of the connection without unmating. In a typical 0.100" header pair, the shunt sees near-zero voltage drop across the jumpered pins — the 2.5 A rating covers most signal-level and low-power jumper applications. The 0.360" (9.14 mm) height clears the majority of standard 0.100" square-post headers, including shrouded and unshrouded types, without bottoming out on the board surface.
Tin Contact Finish — What 100 µinch Buys You
The contact finish is tin at 100.0 µinch (2.54 µm) thickness — well above the typical 30–50 µinch flash found on economy shunts. This thickness provides a durable, low-resistance junction for repeated insertion and removal on a header, and resists fretting corrosion in moderate-vibration environments better than a thin flash. For applications that demand higher mating cycle life or resistance to corrosive atmospheres, the gold-plated siblings 71363-202LF (30 µinch gold) and 71363-102LF (15 µinch gold) are direct drop-in alternatives — same pitch, same height, same 2.5 A rating.
