6-Position Unshrouded Header for Terminal Block Systems
The 0.197" (5.00 mm) pitch sets the PCB footprint and per-contact current ceiling — at 12 A the temperature rise stays within the housing material limit for the -40°C to 110°C operating range. The side stacking feature allows multiple headers to be ganged side-by-side on the same PCB, expanding the effective position count without requiring a larger single header — useful for modular I/O or multi-channel power distribution.
Current, Voltage, and Contact Finish
Rated 12 A at 300 V per UL, the header supports typical 24 VDC or 120 VAC control circuits with margin. The 6 positions per level in a single-level configuration keep the header compact for dense PCB layouts, while the green color aids visual identification in multi-connector panels.
The base product number 282832 covers the series; the full 4-282832-0 is the specific 6-position, vertical, tin-plated variant.
Comparison with Sibling Variants
The 4-282832-0 (6 positions, tin contacts) differs from the 4-282832-2 (6 positions, gold contacts) only in contact plating — gold offers higher mating cycle durability for field-service applications where the connector is repeatedly disconnected and reconnected. The 4-282832-1 (6 positions, tin contacts, different packaging) shares the same electrical and mechanical specs but ships in a different package quantity. For a buyer comparing these, the decision is between tin (lower cost, adequate for infrequent mate cycles) and gold (higher cost, longer cycle life).
