PCB Headers Meeting RAST Standards
TE Connectivity's printed circuit board (PCB) headers meeting RAST 2.5 and RAST 5 standards are wire-to-board solutions to help achieve manufacturing cost savings while also meeting industrial and appliance safety standards. The portfolio includes products compliant with UL 94 V-0 flammability and IEC 60335-1 glow wire standards, as well as products receiving certificates of conformity by UL, VDE and CQC. The headers offer design flexibility with a choice of tin or silver contact plating, multiple color options, and customizable keying. The 2.5mm pitch RAST 2.5 headers are available with a 6A maximum current rating, while the 5mm pitch RAST 5 headers carry up to 20A when using silver plated contacts. These board mounted headers are ideal for major appliance and industrial applications.
