Sullins launches headers and female mates

Engineered for board-to-board or board-to-cable connections, the series reduces the possibility of mismating, and helps designers reduce the vendor count per bill of materials.

The dual-row SBH series of box headers are offered in 1.27 x 1.27mm, 1.27 x 2.54mm, 2mm, and 2.54mm versions, with either straight or right-angle dip solder terminations.

To further enhance OEMS' and assemblers' design flexibility and manufacturing efficiencies, parts are supplied in surface mount (SMT), insulation displacement (IDC), and plated through-hole (PTH) styles.

The SFH series of female mates are provided in corresponding contact positions with the box headers, and may be ordered with polarising keys to ensure proper mating alignment.

Additionally, an optional strain relief feature on IDC female mates minimises tension on cable connectors to promote longer product life.

The new headers and female mates are ideally suited for a range of consumer, commercial and industrial applications in which PC boards need be connected to another board or cable.

As such, they may be confidently specified for use on PCBs in household appliances, heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, gasoline pumps, vending machines, and industrial machinery.

Sullins's shrouded box headers have current ratings of 1A to 3A maximum per contact, and are available in 3 through 50 positions.

Materials are UL94V-0 rated, and withstand reflow processes up to 260C peak.

Headers are provided standard with overall gold flash-plated brass contacts, whereas mates are supplied with overall gold flash-plated phosphor bronze contacts.

Insulation materials are PBT or Nylon-6T, and insulation resistance is 1000 mega ohms.

Operating temperature range of the parts is -40C to +105C.
