Hirose 26-Way Straight Through Hole PCB Header 26 Contacts 2.54 mm Pitch, Polyethylene Terephthalate Housing, 1A 471-064

The RS PRO 471-064 26-Way Straight Through Hole PCB Header is an industrial-grade connector designed for reliably joining flat ribbon cables or PCB circuits in electronic assemblies. Engineered with a robust glass-fibre reinforced Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) housing, this header ensures long-lasting performance and excellent electrical insulation while maintaining a lightweight profile.

With its support for up to 26 contacts and a compact 2.54 mm pitch, the header is ideal for densely populated boards and space-constrained electronic designs. The straight orientation and through-hole mounting simplify installation and guarantee stable, vibration-resistant placement on PCBs. The male contacts are crafted from high-quality brass and gold-plated, providing both high conductivity and resistance to oxidation or corrosion, thus ensuring consistent signal integrity.

Rated for currents up to 1A and temperatures ranging from -45°C to 105°C, this PCB header fits a wide variety of industrial, laboratory, control, automation, and commercial electronics uses, including signal transmission, I/O interfaces, and connection of external peripherals. Solder terminations allow for robust and permanent attachments, supporting both manual and automated solder assembly processes.

The open design of the universal ribbon cable sockets allows for the safe addition of appliances or expansion devices into a circuit, promoting modular system architectures. The part-assembled socket facilitates easy and time-saving installation without requiring excess soldering, and its grey PET housing provides electrical safety without adding unnecessary weight.

Key features include straight body orientation, brass contacts with gold plating, durable housing, through-hole mount, male contact gender, high current rating, and wide operating temperature range. This header complies with UL standards for sockets and headers, ensuring conformity with industrial demands.
