1-87224-6

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The 1-87224-6 is a vertical header connector from the AMPMODU Mod I series, manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. It features 16 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes through-hole termination for secure board mounting and accepts wire gauges ranging from 22 to 26 AWG. Contacts are plated with tin over nickel to ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Designed for general electronic applications, this component provides a robust interconnection solution within standard rectangular connector housings.

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and pitch against the target application requirements before procurement. Confirm that the through-hole termination method aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities of the assembly line. Ensure compatibility with mating connectors in the AMPMODU Mod I family to maintain proper electrical continuity and mechanical fit during installation.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, low-profile header is required for dense circuit board layouts. The 2.54mm pitch offers standard spacing compatibility with common ribbon cables and wire harnesses. Consider the current rating and voltage specifications relative to the load conditions to ensure long-term reliability under operational stress without exceeding thermal limits.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the AMPMODU Mod I series, a widely recognized family of rectangular connectors known for their versatility and durability. The series supports various contact types and housing configurations, allowing for modular design flexibility. As a header component, it serves as the male counterpart to socket housings, enabling versatile connectivity options across diverse electronic assemblies.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series may include other position variants such as 1-87224-1 or 1-87224-2, provided the pin count matches the design. Cross-brand replacements require verification of identical pitch, terminal style, and housing dimensions to ensure mechanical interchangeability without redesigning the PCB footprint.
