Product Guide
PCB connector
A PCB connector provides an electrical interface involving a printed circuit board. Board-to-board, wire-to-board and other arrangements differ in mating geometry, pitch, termination and current rating. This is an overview family; selection requires the exact footprint, pin assignment and compatible mating part.
Practical purchasing guidance for universities, research laboratories, industry and institutional buyers.
Applications and workflows
Typical workflows help you define the application and compare suitable product configurations.
- Printed-circuit-board assembly and replaceable board interfaces
- Industrial electrical connection and signal routing
- Industrial automation, positioning and handling
Technical selection criteria
Include these parameters in your inquiry to align laboratory users, technical teams and purchasing.
- Pin count, pinout, pitch and mating orientation
- Mounting method, footprint and enclosure fit
- Rated current, voltage and temperature derating
- Ingress protection, insulation and environmental rating
Variants and compatibility
Surface-mount and through-hole versions, contact orientation and locking features change assembly requirements. Board thickness, mating height and soldering conditions also matter. A connector with the same number of contacts is not necessarily mechanically or electrically interchangeable.
Documentation and delivery
Use the exact part number and revision where available. Compare electrical limits, mechanical interfaces and environmental conditions against the datasheet. Request RoHS/REACH information and applicable conformity evidence; safety-critical use or export eligibility requires separate verification.
Confirm the required documents, packaging and delivery conditions for the selected item and destination.
