Product details

Contact Plating and Current Ceiling

The 280520-2: The 15.0 µinch gold over nickel on the mating contact is the standard grade for moderate cycle life — rated for several hundred matings without exposing the base brass. The tin-plated solder posts (98.4 µinch) match the solderability of standard FR-4 through-hole pads. At 3 A per contact, the current is limited by the pin density and housing material (UL94 V-0 thermoplastic), not by the contact resistance of the gold interface.
