Product Features
- Double‑row straight vertical DIP through‑hole mounting, robust PCB mechanical anchoring against shock & vibration
- Standard 2.54 mm pitch, fully compatible with mainstream 2.54 mm male header footprints and off‑the‑shelf components
- Phosphor‑bronze spring contacts maintain consistent contact force over mating cycles, resist contact loosening
- Black PBT insulator UL94‑V0 flame retardant, withstands wave‑soldering thermal stress without deformation
- Flexible plating options: tin‑plated for general use; nickel‑under‑gold plating for harsh‑environment anti‑oxidation performance
- Pin‑count coverage: 2×2P up to 2×40P; custom pin‑tail length and housing height are supported
- RoHS/REACH compliant, supplied in bulk bag or box packing for high‑volume assembly




Product Advantage
- Strong PCB retention: DIP through‑hole soldering delivers far better mechanical stability than SMT headers for vibration‑prone equipment, preventing connector lifting off PCB.
- Full ecosystem compatibility: 2.54 mm industry standard pitch reduces component sourcing risk; drop‑in replacement for mainstream market equivalents.
- Dual‑row high‑density layout: Double‑row design packs more signal channels within shorter PCB footprint vs single‑row solutions, saves board space.
- Dual‑grade plating solution: Tin‑plated variant controls BOM cost for commercial‑grade products; gold‑plated option mitigates oxidation for outdoor / high‑humidity long‑life devices.
- Fast project iteration: Off‑the‑shelf standard pin counts for quick prototyping; custom dimensions available for OEM mass production.
- Assembly‑friendly: Insulator resists wave‑solder heat distortion, lower assembly reject rate on SMT / wave‑solder production lines.
Application
- Industrial control boards, PLC peripheral modules
- Embedded systems, single‑board computers, development boards
- IoT sensor gateways, smart home hardware
- Test & measurement equipment
- Robotics auxiliary control modules
- Automotive interior auxiliary electronics
- Medical non‑critical signal modules
- Consumer electronics, prototyping & DIY equipment

Customization Options
- Confirm pin configuration: Define total pin quantity (2×N), double‑row layout; verify matching male header pitch and row spacing strictly at 2.54 mm.
- Mounting check: Select DIP straight version when strong mechanical shock resistance is required; choose right‑angle variant if side‑mating is needed.
- Plating selection:
- Tin plating: indoor commercial devices, normal humidity environment, cost‑sensitive projects.
- Gold plating: outdoor, high‑humidity, long service‑life, frequent plug‑unplug scenarios.
- PCB footprint validation: Confirm PCB hole diameter matches DIP pin dimension; check insulator height to avoid mechanical interference with surrounding components.
- Thermal matching: If wave‑soldering process is applied, confirm insulator material meets soldering temperature requirement.
- Custom requirement: Submit drawing for non‑standard pin‑tail length, insulator height or special pin‑count.
