3M 2500 Series Right Angle Through Hole PCB Header, 16 Contact(s), 2.54 mm Pitch, 2 Row, Shrouded

3M PCB Header, 1.75A Current Rating, 16 Contacts - 2500 Series - N2516-5002RB

Use this PCB header from 3M for reliable board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. It's designed for solder termination, giving you a secure link, even in vibrating systems. To ensure a dependable connection, its contacts are made of highly conductive and corrosion-resistant gold-plated copper alloy. Thanks to a low operating current of 1.75A, this header is a good choice for use in low-power applications.

Applications

PCB Headers are used to connect two PCB boards together. This makes it highly efficient by not having to solder the board together or wire them and will save you time. It also makes it very easy to remove the second board if anything fails.
