Headers provide a common inexpensive solution to mating all kinds of boards in medical test equipment.

A header is an electrical connector consisting of one or more rows of pins. Headers come in two forms: male (pin) and female (socket). Headers are often used on PCB’s (printed circuit boards) for making connections. Connections can be to other PCB’s, plugging in wires or other connectors or can be used as a jumper (a jumper is a conductor used to close a break or by-pass electrical current. • Header posts can be cut to any height and board depth • Wide variety of plating options • Vertical, right angle or custom bends • Breakaway design allows for easy separation into smaller units • Sockets available with right angle and SMT contacts

EDAC offers a broad range of box, pin, and socket header connectors in the market. Box headers are widely used for board to board, or wire to board connections. Right angle, vertical and even custom bends are available. The breakaway design allows for separation into smaller units. Pin Headers mate with socket receptacles, providing a reliable and economical BTB connection. Available in multiple contact spacing options, in single, two or three row configurations.

Highlights:

  • Header posts can be cut to any height and board depth
  • Wide variety of plating options
  • Vertical, right angle or custom bends
  • Breakaway design allows for easy separation into smaller units
  • Sockets available with right angle and SMT contacts

Types of Header Connectors: Box Header Connectors, Pin Header Connctors, Socket Header Connectors, DIN Header Connectors

Learn More About USB Connectors

EDAC specializes in custom solutions meeting specific application requirements in either full custom designs or through modifications of standard products. What sets EDAC apart in the connector industry is our ability to manufacture ‘made-to-spec’ and full custom connectors at low and high volumes. This includes basic modifications to an existing product to clean-sheet design for a unique end solution.

When an engineer will find themself in a situation where standard, off-the-shelf connectors are unable to meet all application needs, designing a custom connector can be no small feat. The vast amount of knowledge and industry know-how needed can leave engineers facing significant challenges, and the large costs associated with tooling, prototyping, and production can quickly overwhelm even the best engineers. EDAC, with its years of experience in custom connector design and manufacturing, offers engineers an excellent solution which takes advantage of the latest innovations and prototyping technologies to reduce the time needed to develop new solutions while reducing the costs associated. Heilind and EDAC can work together to get you there. Contact your local sales representative for help designing a custom solution.
