5-Position Unshrouded Header for Power Distribution
The 2-1546931-9: It carries a 12 A per-contact rating at 300 V, which is notably high for this pitch class — the wide pin spacing keeps the temperature rise within the UL94 V-0 polyamide housing limit even under full load. A key differentiator is the side stacking feature: multiple headers can be placed side-by-side to increase position count without custom tooling, useful for modular power distribution boards.
The vertical header orientation keeps the pin axis perpendicular to the PCB, which simplifies board layout for power routing. Packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated pick-and-place, though the through-hole termination means the reel is for tube-to-reel conversion or hand placement — not reflow. Confirm the reel quantity with your supplier.
The base product number is 1546931; this specific suffix (-9) denotes the tin finish and tape-and-reel packaging.
