RS PRO Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header 20 Contacts 2.54 mm Pitch Shrouded 1A Gold-Plated Thermoplastic 471-137

The RS PRO 471-137 is a high-quality right angle through hole PCB header featuring 20 gold-plated male contacts in a fully shrouded thermoplastic housing. Designed to provide reliable connectivity in a wide range of electronic applications, this header offers a precise 2.54 mm pitch, making it compatible with standard IDC ribbon cable sockets and other board-to-board connections.

With its right angle orientation, the header is ideal for PCB layouts where space constraints or cable routing requirements demand a low-profile configuration. The robust thermoplastic housing ensures excellent mechanical protection, insulation, and durability under demanding conditions. Gold-plated contacts deliver superior conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance, enabling stable signal and power transmission.

The RS PRO 471-137 header incorporates solder termination for secure and lasting board assembly. Long ejection latches built into the shrouded housing provide reliable cable retention, minimizing accidental disconnection and facilitating rapid cable insertion. The product is compatible with connectors conforming to BS9525-F0023, meeting industry engineering standards for modular interconnects.

Operating in environments from -45°C up to 105°C, the header supports both prototype development and industrial assemblies, including applications in medical electronics, consumer devices, industrial automation, and data storage systems. As a universal PCB box header, it is also suitable for rapid electronics prototyping and versatile board-level connectivity.

This RS PRO PCB header exemplifies engineering precision, combining reliability, ease of installation, and robust materials for demanding designs. The fully shrouded design and quality construction provide confidence in demanding laboratory, industrial, and commercial installations.
