Samtec Straight Surface Mount PCB Header, 160 Contacts, 1.27mm Pitch, 4 Row, Shrouded, ASP-134606-01

The Samtec ASP-134606-01 is a high-performance straight surface mount PCB header designed to provide reliable board-to-board connectivity in modern industrial and electronic applications. Engineered for high-density layouts, this component integrates 160 contacts distributed over 4 rows, optimizing connection capacity while maintaining compact footprint requirements.

This connector features copper alloy contacts plated with gold, delivering outstanding electrical conductivity along with resistance to wear, corrosion, and tarnishing even in challenging environments. The shrouded body design not only improves insertion alignment but also protects the contacts from mechanical damage during both assembly and operation. The male contact gender is suitable for standard header applications and complements a wide variety of compatible connectors within the Samtec ASP series.

Mounting is achieved via surface mount technology (SMT), supporting efficient automated assembly lines and robust PCB placement. Each header is capable of handling up to 2.7 amperes per contact and is rated at up to 240V AC, making it suitable for high-current, low-to-medium voltage circuit designs. The housing is crafted from liquid crystal polymer (LCP), imparting thermal stability and durability even when exposed to elevated soldering temperatures or harsh industrial environments.

With a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, this PCB header is optimized for deployment in demanding industrial automation systems, test equipment, electronic control modules, and precision mechanical assemblies. Its shrouded, straight orientation and compact 1.27mm pitch make it especially useful in high-density PCB layouts, ensuring reliable connections where space constraints and performance are critical factors.

Whether for replacing legacy connectors, scaling up new product innovations, or implementing multi-connection harnesses, the ASP-134606-01 delivers secure, repeatable connections across diverse applications. The ASP series' compatibility allows seamless integration with companion products, offering flexibility for design engineers in modular and custom solutions. Its solder termination method supports established PCB manufacturing processes and ensures long-term stability in finished assemblies.

Select the Samtec ASP-134606-01 for industrial control panels, electronic instrumentation, automation systems, and any high-reliability project demanding premium connection density and product longevity.
