FCI AMPMODU Series Straight Through Hole PCB Header, 10 Contacts, 2.54mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded HE14

The TE Connectivity 281739-5 is a precision-engineered PCB header belonging to the AMPMODU HE14 series and is specially designed for demanding electronic and industrial control applications. This header provides a robust solution for wire-to-board connections with a standard 2.54mm pitch and a shrouded 2-row configuration, housing 10 male contacts made from tin-plated phosphor bronze to ensure long-term reliability and electrical integrity.

This connector is built with a high-temperature, blue UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic housing, making it suitable for environments subject to thermal cycling and offering resistance against heat-induced damage. The shrouded construction not only protects the pins from external damage but also includes polarization features and an integrated friction lock, ensuring that mating connectors fit securely and are protected against accidental mismating or disconnection during operation or handling.

Designed for straight through-hole mounting, this header simplifies PCB assembly, making it ideal for production environments that value ease of installation and robust, consistent alignment. With a current rating of 3A and a voltage handling capacity up to 500V, it is well-suited for signal and low-power applications across various sectors, including automotive controls, industrial automation, test equipment, computer systems, telecommunications, medical instruments, and storage equipment.

The AMPMODU HE14 system is notable for its versatility. This specific header mates with compatible AMPMODU HE14 IDC receptacles, enabling the termination of discrete wires or 2.54mm pitch ribbon cables. This flexibility makes the product part of a complete interconnect solution that supports a wide range of industrial applications as well as modular system expansions.

Additional technical strengths include an operational temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, a robust solder termination method that ensures strong and lasting PCB connections, and a tail pin length of 2.9mm that supports reliable insertion through standard PCB thicknesses. All these design features culminate in a highly secure wire-to-board connection platform for critical electronics assemblies.

The TE Connectivity 281739-5 AMPMODU HE14 Series PCB Header is a preferred choice for engineers who need precision, reliability, and ease of use for electronic projects and manufactured assemblies in industrial, instrumentation, telecom, and laboratory environments.
