Through-Hole Power Header, 2 Positions
The 500V voltage rating is the headline spec here — it tells you this header is sized for a DC bus or power rail, not a low-voltage signal line. The 2-position count must match your BOM circuit count exactly; there is no unloaded position option on this variant. Silver plating on the contacts gives lower contact resistance than tin for power duty, but expect fewer mating cycles than a gold-plated equivalent — this is a set-and-lock interconnect, not a frequent-disconnect point. The board lock feature is not optional: it prevents the header from lifting off the board during solder reflow and adds mechanical retention against cable strain in the mated assembly.
Where It Goes — Application and Environment
The Elcon Mini series is a compact power connector family used in power supplies, battery management systems, and server PSU interconnect boards. The through-hole mounting provides the mechanical robustness needed when the mated cable assembly will be routed and tied down in a harness.
