What is pin header

What is pin header

A pin header is a type of electrical connector widely used in electronics for board-to-board or board-to-wire connections.  It consists of one or more rows of metal pins that are mounted on a plastic base, typically soldered onto a printed circuit board (PCB).  Pin headers are available in various configurations, including single-row and dual-row layouts, and can be customized in terms of pitch (spacing between pins), length, and number of pins.  These connectors are often paired with female headers or ribbon cable connectors to create reliable and removable connections.  Pin headers are commonly used in applications such as industrial control systems, consumer electronics, computer motherboards, and embedded systems.  Their affordability, ease of use, and versatility make them a popular choice for both prototyping and mass production.  At JVT Connectors, we provide high-quality pin headers that ensure strong mechanical and electrical performance, with options for surface-mount or through-hole mounting.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

Yes, certain pin headers are designed for harsh environments and high-temperature applications. They may feature high-temperature thermoplastics, gold-plated contacts, and robust housings. When selecting a pin header for such conditions, always confirm the operating temperature range and material ratings.

Pin headers are usually made with brass or phosphor bronze pins, often plated with gold or tin for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. The housing is typically made of thermoplastic materials like nylon. These materials ensure the pin header is durable and maintains strong electrical performance.

When selecting a pin header, consider the pitch (pin spacing), number of pins, mounting type (through-hole or surface mount), current rating, and row configuration. These factors determine compatibility with your PCB design and ensure the pin header performs reliably in your specific application.

Yes, at JVT Connectors we offer custom pin header configurations tailored to your design. Options include different pin lengths, plating materials, insulation types, and special layouts. Customized pin headers help optimize performance and fit within your product’s space and function constraints.
