CW headers are Mil-DTL-83503/20, 21, 24 and 25 approved and are often permanently mounted to PC boards and mate with female socket connectors having a 0.100 in. (2.54 mm) x 0.100 in. (2.54 mm) contact spacing. The headers have male pins on their mating side and offer the designer a choice of either wire-wrap or solder posts in various lengths on the opposing end.
You can specify either straight or right-angle contacts that allow sockets to mate with headers at right angles or parallel to mating PC board or wire-wrap plane. Optional ejection latches in various sizes are available, to mate with strain relief or non-strain relief sockets.
Polarization ribs are securely molded into place, eliminating the need for gluing polarizing keys to the header base. These ribs are easily removed for applications requiring a non-polarized interconnection.
