Available in top-entry (vertical) and side-entry (right angle) mounting configurations, the RoHS compliant SMT headers are molded Polyamide rated 94V-0 and feature insertion guides for easy and secure insertion of the mating PA plug or PAF receptacle. The copper alloy posts are reflow treated tin-plating over copper-underplating and are designed to prevent accidental removal of the pins that might result from distorted mating. Copper alloy, copper-underplated tin-plated reinforcement tabs offer strength and stability to the mounted headers. Optional mounting bosses are offered for polarized placement onto the PCB. The SMT headers are packaged in embossed tape with removable suction caps designed for automated placement equipment.
