This female header provides 12 positions on a standard 0.1 inch pitch, making it suitable for compact board-to-board connections and prototyping layouts.

It is designed for surface-mount applications where through-hole pins are not practical. The surface-mount legs are staggered to help provide stress relief once soldered to the PCB.

The connector uses a push-pull fastening style with tin-finished phosphor bronze contacts, and is listed under model number NPTC121KFXC-RC.

Specifications:

  • Number of Positions: 12
  • Number of Positions Loaded: All
  • Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount
  • Fastening Type: Push-Pull
  • Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
  • Insulation Height: 0.280" (7.10mm)
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C
  • Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
  • Contact Finish - Post: Tin
  • Current Rating (Amps): 3A
  • Voltage Rating: 250V
  • Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
  • Model #: NPTC121KFXC-RC

A handy connector for custom PCBs, low-profile builds and designs that need a female header without through-hole mounting.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

PCB
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
through-hole
A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
