2163-17-01-P2

The 2163-17-01-P2 header is a type of rectangular connectors specifically designed for use in many electronic applications. It is typically used in combination with a wide range of standard mating pairs. Common applications for this type of connector include a broad array of consumer, computer, telecommunications, and automotive industries. These types of headers are lower-cost alternatives to standard through-hole connectors, yet they offer the same level of performance and reliability.

The 2163-17-01-P2 header features two terminal contact elements, which are designed to make reliable electrical and mechanical connections to an associated connector. The terminals are commonly arranged in an array of three rows in a consistent pattern. The contact elements are also designed to provide reliable conductivity and stability. These types of headers are suitable for soldering or crimping and are available in a variety of plating finishes.

The 2163-17-01-P2 header utilizes a basic working principle. A terminal housing assembly is inserted between two backrouted slotted flexible circuits, which are typically referred to as ‘’slicke.’’ The slicks on the flexible circuits are designed to capture the terminal housing assembly with a gripping force, and this interlocking mechanism allows for secure electrical and mechanical connections. This type of header is designed to ensure reliable connections over a wide temperature range.

The 2163-17-01-P2 header is just one of many types of rectangular connectors that are used in various electronic applications. Traditional headers are generally made from stamped or machined metal, plastic, or injection molded shells. These types of headers are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and terminal configurations to accommodate different mating regulations.

These types of connectors are becoming increasingly more popular as the complexity of electronic technology continues to increase. As the demand for better connectors rises, it becomes important to choose the right header for the specific application. By choosing the right header, it is possible to achieve reliable performance and longer lasting connections.
