Product Description

General Mechanical Parameters

Material & Electrical Characteristics

Environment & Soldering Guide

This 2.54mm pitch 2×5Pin dual‑row box header (shrouded header) is a DIP through‑hole type male PCB connector. Equipped with a protective plastic shroud and polarization key, it is designed for wire‑to‑board and board‑to‑board interconnection, widely mated with 2.54mm IDC ribbon cable sockets. Black flame‑retardant insulator ensures production stability. We support custom pin dimensions, plating specs, and matched wire housing to satisfy prototype, mass‑production, and OEM project requirements.

Product Features

1. Standard 2.54mm pitch, dual‑row 2×5P total 10 contacts, DIP straight through‑hole PCB mounting
2. Shrouded housing protects pins against deformation during handling, assembly and transportation
3. Built‑in polarization key slot to prevent reverse insertion, reduce short‑circuit risk in volume production
4. Black PBT UL94V‑0 flame‑retardant housing, wide operating temperature range
5. Square brass contact pins, multiple plating alternatives (tin, gold flash, selective gold)
6. Highly customizable: pin length, special missing‑pin layout, customized plating thickness, matched wire housings
7. RoHS, REACH compliant; suitable for automated assembly and manual soldering workflows
8. Perfect interoperability with off‑the‑shelf 2.54mm IDC flat ribbon cable connectors

Product Advantage

1. Anti‑error assembly: Shroud + polarization key eliminate reverse‑insertion damage, lower defective rate for mass production, compared with unshrouded pin headers
2. Strong mechanical reliability: DIP through‑hole soldering provides far stronger PCB retention than the SMT version, performs well under shock & vibration scenarios
3. Broad compatibility: Fully matches commercial‑off‑the‑shelf 2.54mm IDC ribbon cable sockets, shortens component sourcing cycle for engineers
4. Flexible customization capability: Supports modified pin length, missing‑pin design, variable gold thickness, and supporting wire‑housings for non‑standard project demands
5. Cost‑performance balance: Tin‑plated version for high‑volume consumer goods; gold‑plated variant for repeated‑mating test / debug ports; one part number platform covers multiple cost tiers
6. Consistent quality control: Strict dimensional inspection on square pins and housing key position to guarantee mating consistency batch‑to‑batch

Application

• Industrial control modules, PLC peripheral signal interfaces
• IoT devices, gateway & sensor internal interconnections
• Medical auxiliary equipment (non‑implant), test & measurement jigs
• Automation equipment, servo driver signal transfer
• Consumer electronics, household appliances main‑board connections
• Robotics, security monitoring hardware
• Prototyping boards, development kits, educational electronic equipment

Customization Options

1. Mounting type: Select this DIP straight version when mating connector plugs vertically from top side of PCB; choose right‑angle variant if cable exits horizontally from PCB edge
2. Plating selection:
   • Tin plating: Best for one‑time final‑product assembly, cost‑effective
   • Gold flash / selective gold: Choose for test interfaces, debug ports, modules requiring frequent plug‑unplug
3. Confirm mating pair: When designing PCB, verify mating partner is standard 2.54mm IDC ribbon socket; do not rely only on pitch value, double‑check housing outline and key position
4. Pin‑length custom: Standard pin length for 1.6 mm PCB; inform us if you need longer / shorter through‑hole pins for thick or thin circuit boards
5. Environmental condition: For a high‑vibration industrial environment, prioritize a DIP box header over an unshrouded pin header for better anti-mismating protection
6. Special layout: Contact our engineering team if you require a missing‑pin arrangement or customized key notch position
