Join multiple PCB connections using one block
Printed circuit board (PCB) headers are easy-to-use products that allow you to join multiple connections to a PCB using one block. Also called pin headers, PCB headers are commonly surface mounted or through hole mounted and soldered onto the board. The other side of the header allows the connections. Header pins can be encased by a plastic shroud, making the unit more secure and protecting pins from bending. PCB receptacles are a dependable and inexpensive way to attach components with pin contacts to a PCB. The inner contacts of a PCB receptacle feature a multi-line style that can fit round, square, or rectangular component leads. Our large portfolio of PCB headers and receptacles offers multiple PCB connector assembly types and PCB mount orientations. We carry PCB headers and receptacles from many manufacturers, including AMP, AMPMODU, and MICTOR.
