PH-8A UL (WT)

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The PH-8A UL (WT) is a vertical male pin header manufactured by CWB Electronics Inc. It features an 8-position configuration with a 2mm pitch, designed for board-to-board or cable connections. The connector utilizes a through-hole mounting style suitable for standard PCB assembly processes. The suffix 'UL' indicates compliance with Underwriters Laboratories safety standards, while '(WT)' typically denotes the inclusion of white insulators or specific color coding options depending on manufacturer specifications.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Vertical orientation design for space-efficient PCB integration
• Male pin configuration for secure mating with female counterparts
• Compliant with UL safety standards for electrical isolation

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• General electronic equipment interconnects
• Industrial control panel wiring
• Consumer electronics internal connections

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order includes the white insulators indicated by the WT suffix, as this affects visual identification and insulation properties. Confirm the exact pitch and current rating requirements against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with the target circuit design. Check for any RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertical header with an 8-pin count and 2mm spacing is required. Ensure the mating connector matches the male pin profile and pitch. Consider the mechanical stability provided by the through-hole pins versus surface mount alternatives if vibration resistance is a critical factor in the application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the PH series of headers from CWB Electronics, which offers various position counts and pitch options. The PH-8A variant specifically addresses applications needing eight connection points in a single row. Similar models include the PH-7A and PH-14A, differing primarily in the number of positions while maintaining consistent pitch and mounting characteristics.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 8-position count, 2mm pitch, and vertical mounting style. Verify that alternative manufacturers provide equivalent UL certification if safety compliance is mandatory. Ensure the contact material and plating specifications are compatible to prevent galvanic corrosion or excessive contact resistance.
