NEUTRAL AMPMODU Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header, 5 Contacts, 2.54 mm Pitch, 1 Row, Shrouded HE14

The TE Connectivity AMPMODU HE14 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header, model 281698-5, is designed for robust wire-to-board interconnections in industrial, electronic, and automation environments. This header features a shrouded construction with 5 phosphor bronze contacts, arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm pitch. The shroud provides both mechanical protection and polarization, ensuring pin integrity and preventing mismating during assembly.

The housing is manufactured from blue high-temperature UL 94V-0 rated thermoplastic, offering superior resistance to heat, deformation, and environmental stress. The right angle orientation enables efficient PCB layout design, allowing vertical mating with IDC receptacles or ribbon cable assemblies. The integrated friction lock further secures mating connections, which is crucial for equipment subjected to vibration or repeated insertions.

The header contacts are tin-plated over phosphor bronze, providing enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and stable electrical performance. Solder termination ensures reliable electrical contact, while the male contact configuration facilitates straightforward installation into PCBs. Rated for a voltage of up to 500 V and a current of 3 A, this header meets the demands of industrial power and signal circuits.

The minimum operating temperature is -40°C, and the maximum is 105°C, enabling usage in varied industrial and laboratory settings. The tail pin length is 2.79 mm, tailored for standard PCB thicknesses and effective soldering. Applications span automotive control modules, industrial instruments, test and measurement equipment, medical devices, storage hardware, and computers, as well as telecommunications infrastructure.

As part of the AMPMODU interconnect system, this PCB header mates with compatible AMPMODU HE14 IDC receptacles and supports both discrete wire and ribbon cable terminations. The series is recognized for its reliability and economy within automation, control, and electronics manufacturing sectors.

Typical use cases include signal and data routing, interface board connections, and modular assembly for laboratory equipment, industrial automation, and commercial electronics. Right angle through hole mounting for space-efficient PCB design.

Shrouded housing delivers robust pin protection and mating security. Compatible with standard AMPMODU HE14 system connectors for flexible wiring. Operates reliably across wide temperatures, making it suitable for demanding environments.
