Wurth Elektronik WR-FPC Series Horizontal Surface PCB Header 28 Contacts 1mm Pitch 1 Row Shrouded 686128188622

The Wurth Elektronik WR-FPC Series Horizontal Surface PCB Header (model 686128188622) is an advanced electronic connector designed for modern circuit board applications where reliability and high-density signal transmission are crucial. Featuring 28 contacts arranged in a single row with a tight 1 mm pitch, this connector is ideal for space-constrained electronic devices and industrial control systems.

Manufactured with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing, the header ensures robust mechanical performance, thermal stability, and resistance to harsh environments. The horizontal surface mount orientation is optimized for automated PCB assembly lines, facilitating efficient wire-to-board connections with secure solder termination.

The contacts are made from phosphor bronze and are plated with tin over nickel, offering outstanding electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Each contact type is stamped for precision, supporting up to 1A of continuous current and capable of handling voltages up to 125V AC. The shrouded form factor provides enhanced protection against external disturbances, reduces the risk of bent contacts, and helps maintain the integrity of the connection in demanding conditions.

Rated for operating temperatures between minus 25°C and 85°C, the PCB header meets RoHS safety and environmental standards. Its design supports solder termination and complies with modern wire-to-board connector requirements. The SMT LIF Horizontal Type A variant further enables automated production processes, minimizing human intervention and ensuring repeatable quality.

This connector is widely suitable for a variety of industrial, laboratory, commercial, and manufacturing electronics including programmable logic controllers, industrial automation modules, sensor arrays, and communication equipment. Its high-density pitch makes it a first choice for modern consumer electronics, embedded systems, and compact instrumentation panels.
