RS PRO Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header, 50 Contacts, 2.54 mm Pitch, Fibreglass Reinforced PET, Brass 471-171

RS PRO 471-171 is a right angle through hole PCB header designed for demanding electronic applications where compactness and connectivity are key. It comes with 50 contacts and a standard 2.54 mm pitch, making it ideal for high-density signal or control transmission tasks in prototyping, industrial automation, consumer electronics, and data storage devices.

The component's housing utilizes fibreglass reinforced polyethylene terephthalate, offering excellent mechanical strength, temperature resistance, and reliability during soldering. The gold-plated brass contacts ensure optimal electrical performance and long-term corrosion resistance, providing stable connections critical for circuit integrity.

This header is compatible with connectors conforming to BS9525-F0023, and is suitable for use with IDC ribbon cable sockets. The through hole configuration not only secures the header mechanically to the PCB but also allows for robust electrical connections. Installation is straightforward: engineers simply solder the pins, and the male contact type enables a wide scope of mating options.

The product operates reliably within a temperature range from -45°C up to 105°C, accommodating both cold storage and high-temperature environments. Rated for 1A per contact, it is well-suited for low voltage digital and analog circuits, medical equipment interfaces, and prototype assemblies where signal fidelity and robust interconnects are essential.

Given its right angle orientation, this header allows space-efficient layout planning and vertical or horizontal stacking as required. The fully shrouded design and ejection latches (on compatible sockets) facilitate secure cable retention and easy removal, enhancing both maintenance and operational convenience.

Common industrial applications include prototype development, automated control systems, consumer device assembly, and data acquisition boards. The header's compliance with UL94V flame rating and industry-recognized approval standards further assures safety and reliability within electronics manufacturing.

The RS PRO series is trusted worldwide by engineers and technicians, known for rigorous testing against demanding industry standards. Used in environments such as industrial, laboratory, commercial, manufacturing, and consumer electronics, this PCB header delivers consistent, high-quality performance.
