2.0mm U Type Pin Header – Through-Hole Male Header Connector for Reliable PCB Board-to-Board Connections

The 2.0mm U type pin header is a through-hole male header connector engineered for demanding PCB board-to-board and board-to-wire applications. Unlike standard straight or right-angle variants, the U type pin header features a distinctive U-shaped terminal design that provides superior mechanical retention and solder joint strength — a critical advantage in high-vibration industrial environments, automotive electronics, and consumer devices where connection reliability is non-negotiable.

Engineers and procurement professionals consistently choose the 2.0mm through hole pin header for its balance of compact pitch (2.00mm) and robust through-hole mounting. The through-hole DIP configuration ensures wave-solder compatibility and excellent pull-out strength, making it the preferred 2.0mm male header connector for production runs ranging from prototype quantities to high-volume manufacturing.

This 2.0mm pin header series supports pin counts from 2 to 40 positions (single row) and 4 to 80 positions (dual row), with customizable insulator heights, pin lengths, and plating options. Whether you’re designing an industrial control board, a smart home gateway, or a medical monitoring device, this connector family offers the flexibility and performance your application demands.

The U type pin header stands out when your design demands both mechanical robustness and a moderate PCB height profile. Its U-shaped terminal provides superior retention force — a key advantage over straight pin headers in high-vibration environments[reference:11].

Every PCB design has unique requirements. That’s why we offer comprehensive customization for the 2.0mm U type pin header:

• Pin Count: 2 to 40 pins (single row) or 4 to 80 pins (dual row)[reference:14]
• Pin Length: Customizable above-insulator and below-insulator pin lengths[reference:15]
• Gold Plating Thickness: Flash gold, 15µ″, 30µ″, or custom — for enhanced corrosion resistance and signal integrity
• Insulator Height: Standard 2.0mm or custom heights to match your PCB stack-up[reference:16]
• Housing Color: Black (standard), white, or custom colors for visual identification
• Packaging: Bag, tray, or tape-and-reel for automated assembly
• OEM Marking: Custom part numbers or logos molded into the insulator
