What wire gauge and insulation type will you be using?
The connectors accepts 18 -20 AWG and 22 – 24 AWG stranded
wire with a wire varying maximum insulation outside diameters
per wire gauge.
What special retention mechanisms are available to ensure
stability on the printed circuit board?
The vertical and right angle SMT headers have surface mount hold
downs whereas the vertical and right angle thru hole headers have
board locks to provide stability during mating and un-mating.
What prevents the connectors from being disconnected
unintentionally?
The connectors are snag resistant and have an integral, flush
mounted, actuated latch that prevents inadvertent un-mating of
the connectors.
Is your manufacturing process automated?
The SMT headers are manufactured in high temperature material
for reflow processing and tape and reel packaged for high speed
SMT processing.
What application tooling options are available?
Hand tools are available for product evaluation and/or low volume
production using loose piece terminals. Applicators are available
for mid to high volume production terminals on reel using bench
top semi-automatic presses or fully automated lead makers.
What mechanical and electrical testing has the connectors been
subjected to?
The TE Product Specification 108-2391 provides a summary of the
test groups, sequences and results that the product was subjected
to during product qualification testing.
What version of the header assemblies, vertical or right angle,
are more widely accepted?
Right angle surface mount headers are more often chosen because
they provide a more robust, low profile connection to the printed
circuit board. Vertical headers are chosen if limited space is available
to mate the plug connection in the final assembly
