Molex KK Plus 396 Series PCB Header, 2 Contacts, 3.96 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded, Through Hole, 11A, Model 207479-0002

The Molex KK Plus 396 Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, model 207479-0002, is an industrial-grade wire-to-board connector designed for secure and efficient electrical connections in electronic assemblies. Engineered to fit a wide variety of PCBs, this header is constructed with two reliable tin-plated brass contacts set at a 3.96 mm pitch, ensuring consistent mating with corresponding receptacles and suitable for moderate current-carrying demands.

This model features a single row of shrouded male contacts to protect mating receptacles during assembly, minimizing risk of misconnections and protecting the header pins from mechanical damage. The housing is manufactured from high-performance liquid crystal polymer, delivering excellent heat resistance and stability, which is especially important during through-hole soldering operations. The vertical orientation simplifies board layout and optimizes circuit density for modern electronic designs.

Rated for up to 11 amperes and 350 volts, the Molex 207479-0002 is applicable in demanding telecom, industrial control, consumer electronics, appliances, and instrumentation environments. The connector offers an operating temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, accommodating harsh industrial and commercial conditions. The tail pin length of 3.5 mm ensures consistent insertion depth and reliable solder joints on standard or custom thickness PCBs.

With its RoHS compliance for environmental safety and tin-plated contact surfaces, this PCB header minimizes resistance and ensures durable, corrosion-resistant performance over repeated cycles of operation. The header is well-suited for applications requiring secure, high-current connections and dependable mechanical stability, such as power supplies, inverter boards, industrial controllers, and precision instrumentation requiring shrouded, reliable connections.

Key features of this part include a wire-to-board connection system, fully shrouded for assembly protection, through-hole mounting for robust board attachment, and solder termination type for secure, permanent installation. Designed for use in professional electronics manufacturing, test and measurement, automation, appliance sub-assembly, and wherever secure PCB interconnections are vital, this header ensures performance and peace of mind for engineers and integrators.
