Interconnection


Single-row board-mount headers

16 September 2009 Interconnection

Tyco Electronics has expanded its popular VAL-U-LOK connector family with single-row, board-mount headers in both vertical and right angle configurations.

The header assemblies come with pre-loaded contacts and may be installed on the printed circuit board manually or automatically using robotic equipment. All housings are polarised for easier mating, and locking latches help maintain reliable connections.

The VAL-U-LOK connector system is a low-cost, wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connector system with 4,2 x 4,2 mm centreline. This connector system can be used in a variety of applications, including the HVAC, vending, gaming and appliance industries.

The single-row headers are available in three, four and five positions. This system is available in UL 94 V-2 or UL 94 V-0 flammability rated nylon with contacts in brass or phosphor bronze with tin or gold plating. The connector system is UL component recognised, CSA certified and RoHS compliant.
