What is a Box Header connector?

A box header connector is a male connector with exposed pins encompassed by side dividers which are molded onto a plastic base. Box headers are manufactured with a minimum of two pins in either single or double rows. They are widely used for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections.

Engineering options

Box header connectors are available with PC tail (through hole) terminations in vertical or right-angle orientations. SMT tails are also available, with or without alignment posts. Alignment posts help facilitate the placement of SMT parts onto the PCB prior to soldering. Other options include slots for polarization, latches, and open or closed ends.
