Samtec FSH Series Right Angle Surface PCB Header, 10 Contact(s), 1.27 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded FSH-105-04-L-RA

The Samtec FSH-105-04-L-RA is a right angle surface mount PCB header designed for efficient board-to-board connection in advanced electronic applications. Featuring a shrouded configuration, this connector ensures precise alignment and reliable mating, making it an excellent choice for high-density circuit assemblies.

With 10 contact positions arranged in 2 parallel rows, each spaced at 1.27 mm pitch, the header provides a compact solution suitable for minimizing PCB real estate in instrumentation, embedded systems, and industrial control boards. The shrouded structure protects contact pins during plugging and unplugging, reducing the risk of misalignment and mechanical damage.

Robust construction is accomplished through the use of black liquid crystal polymer for the housing. This material delivers excellent insulation properties and mechanical resilience, supporting operation over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 125°C. The phosphor bronze contact pins are gold-plated, enhancing electrical conductivity, long-term reliability, and resistance to corrosion even in harsh environments.

The header is rated for 2.6A current per contact, making it suitable for transferring both signals and moderate power loads with minimal risk of overheating. Solder termination simplifies installation onto PCBs, ensuring strong mechanical fixation and trustworthy electrical continuity. Its male pin configuration is compatible with a wide range of matable connectors and harnesses for system integration.

This connector supports board-to-board connection systems and is intended primarily for surface mounting using standard soldering techniques. It is widely used in electronics manufacturing, laboratory instrumentation, industrial automation equipment, and embedded computing platforms where space constraints and reliability are crucial.

Additional features include the right angle orientation, which accommodates vertical mating and enables flexible circuit design layouts. The standardized pitch and row configuration allow easy integration into existing PCB layouts and support automated assembly processes.
