2-Position Shunt for 0.100" Header Grids
The 530153-2 is a 2-position open-top shunt from TE Connectivity, designed to jumper adjacent pins on a 0.100-inch pitch header. It mates with standard 0.025-inch square pin strips — the same footprint used across AMPMODU and BergStik II series headers.
Pitch, Profile, and Housing
The 0.100-inch pitch matches the industry-standard 2.54 mm grid used by virtually all breakaway headers. Mated height is 0.360 inches above the board — enough clearance to sit over surface-mount passives or low-profile ICs on the PCB. The open-top design leaves the contact beams exposed for probing or visual inspection during assembly.
