MOLEX 2.54mm Pitch Low Profile C-Grid Header, 10 Way

The MOLEX 2.54mm Pitch Low Profile C-Grid Header is a vertical, shrouded connector designed for reliable and secure PCB (printed circuit board) interconnections. This 10-way, two-row header features a 2.54mm contact pitch, making it a standard and widely compatible choice for numerous electronic applications. Its primary function is to provide a robust interface for connecting ribbon cables or other compatible connectors to a circuit board.

A key feature of this connector is its protective shroud. This integrated shroud serves two critical purposes: it correctly polarises the connection to prevent incorrect mating, and it physically shields the delicate pin contacts from damage, dust, and accidental short circuits. This design ensures a dependable and long-lasting electrical connection every time.

Constructed with high-quality materials, this low-profile header is engineered for durability and consistent performance. The vertical orientation allows for a compact footprint on the PCB, making it ideal for space-constrained designs. Its standard pitch ensures compatibility with a vast range of existing C-Grid sockets and cabling solutions, simplifying the design and assembly process for engineers and technicians.
