VAL-U-LOK HCS Vertical Header, 10 Circuits
It carries a 13 A per circuit rating at the 0.165" (4.20 mm) pitch — that current density tells you the contact beam and housing are sized for power distribution, not signal-level duty. The 600 V voltage rating and UL94 V-0 nylon housing suit it for automotive, industrial, lighting, and medical equipment where a locked, vibration-resistant connection is needed.
What the 13 A Rating Means for Your BOM
At 13 A per circuit, this header can carry a total of 130 A across all 10 positions if evenly distributed — but the practical limit is set by the derating curve above 85 °C and the number of circuits simultaneously loaded. For comparison, the 12-position 1379030-3 in the same series uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and carries no stated current rating — the 1-2825261-0's wider pitch and explicit 13 A rating make it the choice when the BOM calls for a known power capability. The through-hole termination with 0.138" (3.50 mm) post length fits standard 1.6 mm PCBs with room for the solder fillet.
