TE Connectivity AMPMODU Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header, 2.54 mm Pitch, 16 Contacts, 2 Rows, Shrouded, 3A HE14

TE Connectivity 281742-8 Right Angle Through Hole Shrouded PCB Header is engineered for precision wire-to-board interconnections in industrial, computing, and instrumentation circuit boards. Belonging to the AMPMODU HE14 series, this header features a 2.54 mm pitch and a robust design intended for densely populated PCBs and demanding connection environments.

This connector is equipped with 16 male contacts, arranged in two rows within a shrouded housing. The shrouds offer excellent protection for the pins, minimizing the risk of mechanical damage and accidental contact. The right angle orientation is optimized for applications where space constraints require horizontal board entry or close parallel PCB assemblies, supporting versatile and efficient assembly layouts.

The body of this header is constructed from blue, UL 94V-0 rated, high temperature thermoplastic, ensuring performance even under elevated soldering and operating temperatures. The phosphor bronze contacts are plated with tin to combine efficient conductivity with long-term corrosion resistance.

Termination is achieved using through-hole soldering, which provides robust mechanical stability. With polarization and an integrated friction lock, the header prevents mismating and supports secure, vibration-resistant connections in dynamic applications.

Rated for up to 3A at 500V, the connector is ideally suited for wire-to-board interfaces in automotive controls, industrial test equipment, computers, telecommunications, medical electronics, and appliances. Its compatibility with AMPMODU HE14 IDC receptacles makes it suitable for discrete wire and ribbon cable terminations.

2.54 mm centerline pitch accommodates standard PCB layouts. Shrouded, polarized housing for secure, error-free mating and enhanced pin protection. Designed for right angle, through hole mounting for reliable multi-board configurations.

Thermoplastic housing resists high temperature processes and is UL 94V-0 rated for safety. Rated for 3A current and 500V operating voltages to support diverse electronic requirements. 16 phosphor bronze contacts provide durable electrical connections.

Easy solder termination increases production efficiency. Typical applications include automotive, industrial control, test equipment, telecom, computers, and medical devices.
