Surface Mount Single Row Male Pin Header Connector 2.54mm Pitch SMT PCB Board Mount

Our Surface Mount Single Row Male Pin Header Connector 2.54mm Pitch SMT PCB Board Mount represents a precision-engineered interconnect solution designed for reliable board-to-board and wire-to-board connections in demanding electronic applications. Manufactured with high-temperature PA6T thermoplastic insulation and precision-stamped brass contacts, this connector series delivers consistent electrical performance across a wide range of operating conditions. Every connector undergoes rigorous quality inspection including contact resistance measurement, insulation resistance testing, and visual inspection under magnification to guarantee conformance to international standards.

The contact system utilizes high-conductivity brass alloy pins with selective gold or tin plating over nickel underplate, providing superior corrosion resistance and reliable mating cycles exceeding industry benchmarks. Our automated assembly lines employ precision insertion technology that ensures consistent pin alignment and coplanarity, critical factors for successful PCB mounting in high-volume production environments. The insulator body is molded from UL94V-0 rated PA6T material reinforced with 30% glass fiber, offering exceptional thermal stability up to 105°C continuous operating temperature while maintaining dimensional accuracy.

• Reflow Solder Compatible: Designed for standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C, compatible with SAC305 and SN100C solder pastes
• Gull-Wing Lead Design: Flat solder tails with optimized footprint dimensions ensure reliable solder joint formation and facilitate automated optical inspection after reflow
• Tape-and-Reel Packaging: Available in standard 330mm diameter reels with 16mm or 24mm wide carrier tape for seamless integration with pick-and-place equipment
• Kapton Tape Pick-Up Pad: Flat insulator top surface with high-temperature Kapton adhesive pad provides reliable vacuum nozzle pick-up during automated placement
• Co-Planarity Controlled: Solder tail coplanarity maintained within 0.10mm across all positions to prevent opens and bridging defects during reflow soldering
• Mixed Technology Compatible: Can be used alongside through-hole components in mixed-technology PCB designs processed through dual-wave or intrusive reflow soldering methods

SMT single row pin headers are the preferred interconnect solution for high-volume PCB assemblies where through-hole processing is not cost-effective, including consumer electronics motherboards, LED lighting control modules, smart home IoT sensor nodes, and wearable device docking connectors. The surface mount configuration eliminates the need for secondary wave soldering operations in predominantly SMT assembly lines, reducing manufacturing cycle time and process complexity. These connectors are also widely used in miniaturized medical devices such as continuous glucose monitors and hearing aid programmers where PCB real estate is at a premium and vertical clearance allows for top-side component placement.

Standard packaging in 330mm reels with 16mm wide conductive carrier tape, 400 or 800 pieces per reel depending on pin count. Reels are vacuum-sealed in moisture barrier bags with desiccant and humidity indicator cards. Each reel bears a unique serialized label with part number, quantity, date code, and lot number for complete traceability. Custom reel quantities for kanban inventory systems and pick-and-place machine-specific feeder setup documentation are available upon request.

Our manufacturing facility operates under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system with comprehensive traceability from raw material receiving through finished product shipment. Each production lot undergoes statistical process control monitoring, and certificate of conformance documentation is available upon request. We maintain substantial inventory of standard configurations to support just-in-time delivery requirements while offering flexible customization for specialized pin lengths, plating options, and packaging formats. Engineering samples are available within 48 hours for qualification testing, and our technical team provides application engineering support to assist with connector selection and PCB layout optimization. With over a decade of connector manufacturing expertise, we are committed to delivering interconnect solutions that exceed performance expectations while maintaining competitive pricing for volume production programs.
