Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the lead time aligns with project schedules, as standard delivery periods may vary. Ensure the component matches the required pin count and row configuration for the target PCB layout.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, surface-mount header with push-pull retention is required. The 2.54mm pitch suits general-purpose digital signals. Verify thermal resistance capabilities against soldering processes and ensure the 3A current rating meets circuit requirements.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the BergStik® family from Amphenol ICC (FCI), formerly Framatome Connectors International. The series specializes in high-reliability rectangular connectors for commercial and industrial electronics. The brand transition occurred after Amphenol's acquisition, maintaining product continuity under the Amphenol ICC division.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 12-position, 2-row SMD headers featuring push-pull locks. Verify mechanical dimensions, pin pitch, and electrical ratings match exactly. Check for equivalent gold plating specifications to maintain corrosion resistance and contact performance.
