• Blind mate interface systems

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required pin count, pitch, and mounting style. Confirm that the tin plating and retention clip features align with the design specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB thickness and current requirements before finalizing procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current connection is required alongside alignment tolerance. The BMI series is suitable for applications where precise initial alignment may be challenging. Verify that the 4.20mm pitch fits the available board space and that the 13.0A rating meets the electrical load demands.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Mini-Fit BMI series, which is engineered for reliable power distribution in compact spaces. The series is characterized by its ability to handle significant current loads while maintaining a small footprint. The blind mate feature distinguishes it from standard headers by allowing for easier assembly without perfect alignment.
