About TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity (TE) is a global leader in connectivity and sensor solutions, serving industries from aerospace to medical technology. With over 75 years of innovation, TE’s components are renowned for rigorous quality standards, exceeding industry certifications for performance and safety.

TE’s ERNI MiniBridge series exemplifies their expertise in high-reliability interconnects, featuring patented designs that prevent mis-mating and ensure signal integrity in high-vibration environments. Their commitment to material science ensures optimal electrical characteristics even under thermal stress.

About Rectangular Connector Headers

Rectangular headers form the backbone of board-to-wire and board-to-board interfaces, providing standardized pathways for power and data transmission. Their precision alignment features enable scalable connections in multi-board systems while resisting mechanical stress.

Miniaturized headers like the MiniBridge series address modern design challenges by offering high current density in minimal PCB real estate. Gold-plated contacts maintain stable impedance for high-speed signals, while shrouded designs prevent damage during mating cycles – critical for field-serviceable equipment.

Packaging Options

Available in Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), or Digi-Reel® formats for prototyping or high-volume SMT production. Specify packaging preference at checkout.

FAQs

Q: Is this connector RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, this TE Connectivity header meets all current RoHS 3 directives.

Q: What mating connector pairs with this header?
A: It’s designed to mate with MiniBridge receptacles (e.g., TE 474826 series) using a secure latching mechanism.

Q: Can it withstand reflow soldering processes?
A: Absolutely. The LCP housing maintains dimensional stability up to 150°C, compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles.

Q: What wire gauge is supported?
A: Typically used with 28-30 AWG wires in crimp-style receptacles. Refer to the datasheet for exact crimp specifications.

Q: Does the shrouding provide polarization?
A: Yes, the 4-wall shroud includes asymmetric board guides to prevent reverse mating.

Q: Is solder wicking a concern with SMT pins?
A: No, the pins feature solder retention shoulders that control flow during reflow, preventing bridging.
