Pin headers and sockets

Board-to-board headers and receptacles, or pin headers and sockets, are rectangular connectors that are typically soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB). The header containing the contacts sticks up from one board and connects with a female receptacle or socket. Our portfolio of board-to-board headers and receptacles is broad and ranges from 0.4 to 24mm pitch, with many configurations available in the 1.27mm, 2mm and 2.54mm pitch ranges. Our wide and diverse portfolio features AMP, AMPMODU, CHAMP, STRADA, and Dynamic series product families.
