Z-PACK HS3 Backplane Header — 30 Positions, 6-Row x 5-Column Grid
The TE Connectivity 5120677-1 is a Z-PACK HS3 series backplane header with male pins and dual-beam blades, arranged in a 6-row by 5-column grid for 30 total positions. The press-fit termination eliminates solder, which means the connector is pressed into plated through-holes on the backplane during assembly, giving a gas-tight joint that survives thermal cycling and rework without desoldering. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed on the listing, so it meets the current EU restriction on hazardous substances without a separate exemption.
Press-Fit Termination — Backplane Assembly Without Solder
The press-fit termination means this header is designed for a solderless backplane assembly process. The compliant pin compresses as it enters the plated through-hole, creating a mechanical and electrical connection that is rework-friendly — a damaged pin can be pressed out and replaced without heating the board.
