Insulation height is 0.472\" (12.00mm); the contact tail length is 0.138\" (3.50mm) for solder through-hole termination. The side-stacking feature allows multiple headers to be ganged side-by-side on the same pitch for more circuits without increasing board area per header. ## Tin Contacts — Mating Cycle Reality The contact mating finish is tin, not gold. For field-service applications requiring frequent disconnect, a gold-plated sibling in the Buchanan series would offer higher cycle life. The copper alloy base material provides adequate conductivity for the 15 A rating.","metaTitle":"282825-3 TE Connectivity Buchanan Header, 3 Pos, 5.08mm, 15A","metaDescription":"282825-3 TE Connectivity Buchanan vertical shrouded header, 3 positions, 0.200\" (5.08mm) pitch, 15 A, 300 V, UL94 V-0, tin contacts.

It mates with a corresponding Buchanan plug housing that accepts the same 5.08mm pitch and 3-position layout. The mating half is a separate order — confirm the plug part number against the series catalog. The tin contact finish is compatible with tin or gold mating contacts."},{"question":"How does 282825-3 compare to 282825-2?","answer":"The 282825-2 is the same header in all respects except position count: 2 positions instead of 3. Pitch, current, voltage, plating, orientation, and material are identical. If your BOM calls for 3 circuits, 282825-3 is the correct part; the 2-position version cannot be substituted without changing the mating connector and wiring."},{"question":"What is the pinout of 282825-3?","answer":"The header has 3 positions in a single level. The pins are arranged in a straight row on 0.200\" (5.08mm) centers. Pin 1 is typically marked on the housing — refer to the product drawing for the exact orientation relative to the keying feature. The vertical orientation means all pins are in line perpendicular to the board."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/282825-3","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/282825-3 when reusing this data.
