Economy Power 2.5 SMD Headers

TE's Economy Power 2.5 (EP 2.5) surface-mount technology (SMT) headers are designed for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers using automated assembly processes to build compact wire-to-board systems. With more customers automating PCB assembly, SMT headers are increasingly being used in place of the standard through-hole (T/H) versions. SMT headers are better suited for automated pick-and-place assembly, require fewer processing steps, and have reduced the risk of connection failure due to solder bridging. These UL- and VDE-certified headers can safely mate with existing EP 2.5 connectors and similar 2.5 mm pitch products on the market.

Benefits

• Surface-mount technology supports automatic pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering
• Reduced risk of connection failure due to solder bridging as compared to through-hole headers
• Mates with existing EP 2.5 connectors and similar 2.5 mm pitch products
• Materials meet UL 94 V-0 and IEC 60335-1 glow wire test (GWT) flammability standards
• Connectors are UL- and VDE-certified
