Pin Header Connectors (often referred to as male headers) are the industry standard for creating reliable, low-cost, and versatile electrical connections on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). These connectors consist of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, designed to mate with female headers or cable connectors.
At Vistar Electronics, we provide a vast selection of pin headers engineered for precision and durability. Our headers are available in a variety of orientations—including straight, right-angle, and SMT—allowing for maximum design flexibility. Whether you are building a prototype or a high-volume industrial product, our pin headers ensure stable signal integrity and mechanical strength.
| Connector Type | Pin Count | Mounting Style | Current Rating | Voltage Rating | Mating Cycles | Waterproof |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard SMT | 6/9/16/24 Pin | Surface Mount | 3A-5A | 30V DC | 10,000 | No |
| Standard DIP | 6/9/16/24 Pin | Through-Hole | 3A-5A | 30V DC | 10,000 | No |
| Right Angle | 6/9/16/24 Pin | SMT/DIP | 3A-5A | 30V DC | 10,000 | Optional |
| Vertical | 16/24 Pin | SMT/DIP | 5A | 30V DC | 10,000 | No |
| Waterproof | 6/16 Pin | SMT/DIP | 5A | 30V DC | 10,000 | IP67 |
Available in standard pitches including 2.54mm (0.1″), 2.0mm, 1.27mm, 1.0mm, and 0.8mm to accommodate everything from robust power boards to ultra-compact IoT devices.
We offer flexible pin lengths (above and below the plastic insulator) to meet specific stacking requirements or enclosure depths.
