What the 10 mm Pitch and 600 V Rating Mean for Your Layout
The 282817-2: The 10.00 mm pitch is unusually wide for a PCB header — it provides generous creepage and clearance for the 600 V UL rating, making this header a fit for power distribution or industrial control panels where high-voltage isolation is required. At 15 A per contact, the tin-plated mating finish is adequate for moderate-cycle applications — expect several hundred mating cycles before wear becomes a concern, typical for terminal block connections that are wired once and rarely disconnected.
RoHS3 compliant — suitable for assemblies that must meet the latest EU hazardous-substance restrictions.
Board Integration and Termination Details
The shrouded header protects the male pins from accidental shorting and guides the mating plug — mates with standard Buchanan 10.00 mm pitch plug connectors (not included).
