Header Applications

HEADER APPLICATIONSThere are numerous reasons to utilize a multi-pin header in lieu of multiple, single-pin feedthrus. Foremost is the ability to place pins on closer centers down to .050 in. In addition, the tolerance control on pin centers for mating with a connector would be improved over individual feedthrus. More significant advantages occur when it is desired to utilize flattened pins for improved wire bondability and/or gull winged leads for surface mount configuration.
