2×8 Pin Header Connector 2.00mm Pitch | Vertical PCB Mount with Post | Gold

This 2×8 Pin Header Connector with a 2.00mm pitch is designed for reliable PCB-to-PCB and wire-to-board electronic signal transmission. The connector features a vertical through-hole structure with a positioning post, ensuring precise alignment during PCB assembly. Each terminal is made from high-strength copper alloy H65, while the housing uses PA9T/LCP UL94-V0 flame-retardant material, providing excellent thermal stability and mechanical durability.

The terminals are plated with a minimum 30u” nickel base and gold/tin G/F finish, offering improved corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity. With a rated current of 1.5A per pin, initial contact resistance ≤10mΩ, and insulation resistance ≥1000MΩ, the connector ensures stable electrical performance even under demanding environments.

This pin header is ideal for applications requiring compact structure, strong retention, and consistent signal integrity, and supports use in custom wiring, PCB modules, industrial systems, servers, automotive electronics, and power-signal transmission.

⚠️ Notes

• Ensure Correct Pin Alignment: Check orientation and positioning before mating to avoid mis-insertion, bent pins, or PCB pad damage.
• Do Not Exceed Electrical Ratings: Follow the specified current and voltage limits to prevent overheating or contact failure.
• Proper Insertion and Extraction Force: Avoid excessive force during mating/unmating to prevent deformation, cracked solder joints, or pin damage.
• Keep Contact Surfaces Clean: Ensure terminals remain free from dust, oil, oxidation, or contaminants that reduce conductivity.
• Follow Recommended Soldering Conditions: Use appropriate soldering temperature profiles according to plastic materials such as LCP, PA6T, PA66, or PBT.
• Verify PCB Hole Tolerance: Incorrect hole size may cause inadequate solder filling or mechanical instability.
• Avoid Mechanical Stress After Assembly: Do not apply lateral pressure or bending forces, especially for SMT pin headers.
• Maintain Proper Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent terminal oxidation; use anti-static packaging if required.
• Confirm Compatibility with Female Header: Ensure matching pitch, pin count, height, and contact design to avoid mating failure.
• Choose Correct Plating Specification: Select proper plating (gold, tin, nickel) based on your application’s durability, corrosion resistance, and signal reliability needs.
