Pitch and position count define the PCB footprint
The 282825-7: The 0.200" (5.08 mm) pitch sets the board layout spacing and determines which terminal block plug mates with this header. 7 positions per level, single level — common for distributing one 3-phase circuit plus neutral and ground, or grouping signal lines in industrial controls.
Current and voltage ceiling with UL listing
The tin-plated copper alloy contacts keep contact resistance stable at this current level in dry indoor environments.
Shrouded header with side-stacking flexibility
Side-stacking feature lets you mount multiple headers edge-to-edge on the same PCB to increase circuit count without changing the board layout — each header retains its own 5.08 mm pitch grid.
Material and environmental rating
Operating temperature range -40°C to 110°C covers unheated storage, outdoor cabinets, and equipment near motors or heat sources.
