W+P presents a new system of sturdy power pin headers and female headers which enables you to handle the operating voltage on the printed circuit board safely.

Equipped with individually coated power contacts for usage in board-to-board connecting, the new series 458 and 459 support current ratings of up to 9.0A per contact. The contacts in pitch 4.19mm also have a compact design, which makes a high packing density in this area of current rating with a PCB distance of only 15.24mm possible.

The coating of each contact has two great advantages: Personnel protection insulation and protection against polarity reversal. Blind plugging is additionally supported by the optional equipment with polarized guide sockets as well as polarization lugs. The usage of the power pin headers and female headers is especially interesting in the areas that require a high protection against polarity reversal and stability, for example in industrial electronics, in mechanical and plant engineering and in industrial and control systems.

The new series are available as solderable versions single row. The contact material consists of phosphor bronze, the contact surface is tin plated above a nickel barrier layer. The insolator consists of thermoplastic polymer according to UL94 V-0. Safe functioning is given in a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C.
