Elevated Height 8.5MM 2.54MM Pitch Dual Row Female Header Socket Gold Flash PA6T Through Hole Standing Connector

CNJWY offers its specialized Elevated Height 8.5MM 2.54MM Pitch Dual Row Female Header Socket, engineered to provide additional vertical clearance between stacked PCBs in multi-board assemblies. With an insulator body height of 8.5mm above the PCB surface, this connector creates sufficient spacing to accommodate tall components, heat sinks, or airflow channels on the mating board, eliminating the need for costly interposer boards or flexible circuit solutions. The elevated profile is particularly valuable in power electronics designs where thermal management requires convection clearance, and in mixed-signal systems where isolation between high-voltage and low-voltage board sections is critical. The dual row configuration spanning 04P to 80P delivers high-density interconnection while the gold flash plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure reliable electrical performance across extended service lifetimes. The through-hole termination provides robust mechanical anchoring that resists the increased leverage forces inherent to elevated connector designs.

• 8.5MM Elevated Insulator Profile: The 8.5mm standoff height provides generous clearance between stacked PCBs, enabling placement of components up to 6mm in height on the facing board surface. This eliminates the common design constraint where connector height limits component selection on adjacent boards in dense assemblies.
• Enhanced Thermal Management: The elevated board-to-board gap creates a natural airflow channel between stacked PCBs, improving convective cooling of power components. In forced-air cooled systems, the 8.5mm spacing ensures adequate airflow velocity through the inter-board gap for effective heat dissipation.
• High-Voltage Clearance Compliance: The increased physical separation between boards enhances creepage and clearance distances, supporting compliance with IEC 60950 and IEC 62368 safety standards for equipment requiring reinforced insulation between primary and secondary circuits.
• Reinforced Mechanical Design: The extended insulator body incorporates a reinforced base structure with enlarged solder tails for improved mechanical stability. The through-hole termination with generous pad sizes resists the increased bending moment created by the elevated connector height during mating and unmating operations.
• Gold Flash Contact Reliability: Phosphor bronze contacts with uniform gold flash plating maintain stable contact resistance below 20mΩ across the full rated life of 300 mating cycles, ensuring consistent signal integrity even when the connector experiences the slight mechanical flex inherent to elevated designs.
• Flexible Pin Count Options: Dual row configurations from 04P to 80P accommodate diverse design requirements, from simple power and ground interconnects requiring just a few positions to complex data bus interfaces needing high pin count connectivity between stacked boards.

The elevated height 8.5mm female header socket addresses specific mechanical design challenges in multi-board electronic assemblies. Power supply modules employ these connectors to create clearance for tall electrolytic capacitors, transformers, and heatsinks mounted on the mating power board. Industrial motor drive systems utilize the elevated profile to maintain isolation clearance between high-voltage power stages and low-voltage control circuits on adjacent boards. LED lighting systems benefit from the increased gap for thermal management, allowing heat from LED driver components to dissipate through natural convection between stacked PCBs. Telecommunications equipment including base station power amplifiers and RF filter modules leverage the elevated connector for board stacking in forced-air cooled chassis. Test and measurement instrumentation uses the additional spacing to accommodate calibration reference components. Automotive body control modules and battery management systems employ the elevated height for isolation in mixed-voltage architectures. Additional applications include server power distribution boards, UPS control interfaces, and solar microinverter stacked assemblies where component clearance and thermal management are critical design considerations.

CNJWY elevated height female header sockets are packaged in anti-static protective tubes specifically designed to accommodate the 8.5mm insulator height without contact deformation. Each tube holds 10-35 connectors depending on pin count, with spacers preventing connector-to-connector contact during transit. For automated assembly customers, custom tray packaging with precision-machined pockets is available. All packaging materials are ESD-safe and include moisture protection appropriate for standard warehouse storage conditions. Each production lot undergoes 100% visual inspection including body height measurement verification, contact alignment checking, and insertion force testing. CNJWY manufacturing operates under ISO9001:2015 certified quality systems with UL, SGS, ROHS, and REACH compliance across the complete product line. Custom body heights beyond 8.5mm, application-specific pin lengths, and selective gold plating options are available through our OEM engineering team. Standard delivery is 7-10 working days with minimum order quantity of 2,000 pieces.
