Product Selling Points

 

1. Industry-Standard 2.54mm Female Header for Universal Compatibility
Features the widely adopted 2.54mm pitch - directly compatible with standard male headers, breadboards, and development boards. Available in top-entry or side-entry, single-row or double-row, and DIP or SMT mounting styles for maximum design flexibility.

2. Reliable Power and Signal Transmission
Rated at 3A (typical for 2.54mm pitch) with 250V AC/DC - suitable for both power delivery and signal applications. Contact resistance ≤20 mΩ, insulation resistance ≥1000 MΩ, and withstand voltage of 500V AC/minute ensure stable, safe electrical performance.

3. Wide Operating Temperature for Demanding Environments
Operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C ensures consistent performance in extreme conditions - from freezing outdoor installations to high-heat industrial equipment. Brass or phosphor bronze contacts with gold or tin plating over nickel provide excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.

4. Durable PA66 Housing for Long-Term Reliability
Nylon (PA66) housing delivers good mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. Compatible with automated assembly processes including wave soldering and reflow - ideal for high-volume PCB production lines and prototyping applications.

Star Reviews From Customers

 

1.Elena Rodriguez, Design Engineer
When we had a unique need for a specific polarizing key arrangement, your engineering team provided a fully customized solution. From initial concept to receiving the first batch of functional samples, the process was seamless and professional.

 

2.Kenji Sato, Automotive Electronics Manager
Our automotive control units demand the highest durability. The high-temperature plastic housing (PA6T/PA9T) of your female headers withstands both the heat inside our enclosures and the mechanical stress of assembly, ensuring long-term reliability.

 

3.Sophie Williams, Compliance Officer
Having readily available UL, RoHS, and CE certification documents for your entire connector series is a huge advantage. It streamlines our own compliance process and accelerates time to market for our products.

 

4.Alexandra Petrova, Test Lab Manager
The gold-over-nickel plating on the contacts has proven excellent in preventing oxidation. Even after extended humidity chamber testing, the connectors maintain low and stable contact resistance, which is vital for our outdoor industrial equipment.

 

5.Tom Bradley, Procurement Specialist
The female headers are not only of high quality, but their ESD-safe packaging is meticulous and organized. This attention to detail ensures all parts arrive in perfect condition and allows our warehouse team to manage inventory efficiently.
