Product details

8-position 2.50 mm header for wire-to-board harnesses

Through-hole mounting with kinked pins: the kink provides a press-fit retention in the plated hole before soldering, holding the header in place during wave-solder or hand-solder assembly. The tin-plated mating contacts are rated for moderate mating-cycle duty — suitable for equipment where the connector is disconnected only during service or rework, not for frequent field reconnection. The post finish is also tin, consistent with the solder termination.

Environmental and compliance profile

The connector is ROHS3 compliant.
