Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The 216X-26-02-P2 is a component belonging to the extensive family of Rectangular Connectors – Headers and Male Pins manufactured by Sigmatek, a company specialized in the development and production of electrical/electronic connectors and cable assemblies. This particular device is commonly used in many applications of the industry such as telecommunications, consumer electronics and advanced manufacturing.

Application Field

The 216X-26-02-P2 is homologated and approved by a variety of international standards, and because of this, makes it suitable for multiple applications. It is particularly indicated to be used along with processors and memory boards, external memories and digital audio. A decisive feature thanks to its low profile and narrow pitch.

Working Principle

The 216X-26-02-P2 basically works by establishing an electrical connection between two boards. It consists of a male connector or simply header, and a female connector, which might be a receptacle or a solder cup. The contacts are made of a highly resistant brass alloy, providing thermal and mechanical stability to the assembly, and are plated with a metal finish that grants extra protection against traction, erosion and oxidation.

By means of an insulated body, it ensures that no contact occurs between adjacent poles, and the contacts have been designed such that solid termination to a board is possible. The 216X-26-02-P2 will keep the integrity of the connection even under different conditions thanks to its integral locking system and polarized design, preventing wrong insertion of the mating connector.

Advantages

The 216X-26-02-P2 possesses many advantages that make it ideal for a diverse range of applications, such as its high-speed signal integrity and fast temperature cycling performance. Additionally, it features a very small header which occupies little space inside of the printed circuit board, making it perfect for use in high density applications.

Furthermore, the 216X-26-02-P2 has been designed to meet the most stringent requirements for a secure and reliable connection. It is a highly stable component that provides easy and quick installation, and has a high longevity because of its robust build quality.

Conclusion

The 216X-26-02-P2 is an essential component in the vast range of Rectangular Connectors manufactured by Sigmatek that serves to connect boards separated from one another. This connector is especially reliable for applications of telecommunications, consumer electronics, and many other demanding uses. No matter the size and requirements of the circuit, the 216X-26-02-P2 can be the optimal device for meeting the customer’s expectations.
