Product details

Board-to-wire header for low-circuit-count signal or power tap

Its 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — at the standard 3 A per contact for tin-plated HE13/HE14 headers, the temperature rise stays within the UL94 V-0 housing limit.

Friction lock and shrouding for vibration resistance
