PEC18SADN

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The PEC18SADN is a male breakaway header connector manufactured by Sullins Connector Solutions. It features 18 positions arranged in a single row with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are tin-plated phosphor bronze pins designed for through-hole termination. The housing is constructed from black polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) rated UL94 V-0. Key dimensions include an overall contact length of 0.750 inches and an insulation height of 0.100 inches. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to 125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Breakaway design allows for easy separation into individual rows or custom lengths during assembly.
• Push-pull locking mechanism secures mating connections without additional hardware.
• Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts provide reliable electrical performance.
• UL94 V-0 rated PBT insulation ensures flame resistance and thermal stability.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• Industrial control systems
• Commercial electronic equipment

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official datasheet to confirm pin count, pitch, and plating specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required UL94 flammability rating and operating temperature range for the target application environment. Cross-reference the push-pull locking feature requirements with system mechanical constraints before finalizing the part number selection.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a breakaway header configuration is required for flexible PCB assembly layouts. The 0.100-inch pitch suits standard commercial and industrial circuit board densities. Consider the push-pull locking style if vibration resistance is needed without screws. Verify that the tin plating meets the environmental corrosion requirements for the intended service life.
