HARTING SEK 19 Pin Header, Straight, 2.54mm Pitch, 2x8 Way

The HARTING SEK 19 Pin Header is a robust, straight wire-to-board connector designed for reliable IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) ribbon cable connections. Engineered to the SEK 19 series standard, it provides a precise and secure interface for a wide range of electronic applications where data or power transfer is required.

This header features a 2.54mm pitch across two rows, totalling 16 contacts (commonly referred to as a 2x8 configuration). The through-hole design ensures a strong mechanical and electrical bond when soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB), offering excellent stability and durability in demanding environments. Its construction is tailored for mating with compatible IDC cable connectors, simplifying the assembly process for mass-termination of ribbon cables.
