26-Pin Shrouded Header for Board-to-Cable Connections
At 2.54mm pitch, this header matches the industry-standard 0.100" grid — the footprint is a direct drop-in for legacy designs and common prototyping boards.
Sourced through independent distribution channels.
The 827881-1 offers 26 positions vertically — a 20-position difference — so the choice is driven by circuit count and board orientation, not by current or plating. Another sibling, 1379030-3, is a 12-position right-angle header with a board lock. The 827881-1 lacks the board lock but adds 14 more positions in a vertical orientation — useful when you need density and the board has space for a taller connector.
