Header Connectors Selector Guide

Header connectors are often permanently mounted to PC boards and mate with female socket connectors having a .100 in. (2.54mm) x. 100 in. (2.54mm) contact spacing.
The headers have male pins on their mating side and offer the designer a choice of either wire-wrap or solder posts in various lengths on the opposing end.
With CW, the designer also can choose either straight or right-angle contacts and allow sockets to mate with headers at right angles or parallel to mating PC board or wire-wrap plane. Optional ejection latches in various sizes are available, to mate with strain relief or non-strain relier sockets.
Polarization ribs are securely molded into place, eliminating the need for gluing polarizing keys to the header base. These ribs are easily removed for applications requiring a non-polarized interconnection.
