Product names identify the catalog configurations shown. Confirm pin numbering, footprint, shroud dimensions, polarization and mating socket before sample approval.
Box Header Connector Applications
Explore three application scenes for shrouded PCB headers and ribbon cable connections. Select the connector against the electrical, mechanical and assembly requirements of the finished equipment.
Industrial Control & Automation
Connect internal control boards and ribbon cable assemblies in automation equipment. Confirm circuit assignment, connector retention, vibration requirements and access for assembly and servicing.
Test Instruments & Measurement Equipment
Review box header interfaces for measurement boards, signal modules and front-panel assemblies. Match pin numbering, cable routing, grounding and signal requirements to the complete equipment design.
Embedded Electronics & Internal Connections
Use shrouded headers for compact board interfaces and internal cable connections. Check mating height, enclosure clearance, polarization and soldering requirements before approving the selected configuration.
Box Header Connector Specifications: What to Confirm
Use this checklist to define the connector interface, board footprint and mating requirements. Review performance against the selected model datasheet.
| Specification | Information to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Pitch & circuit count | The displayed catalog includes 1.27 mm, 2.0 mm and 2.54 mm configurations. Specify the number of rows and contacts using the selected drawing. |
| Mating interface | Provide the IDC socket or other approved mating connector reference, its polarization features and pin numbering. |
| Mounting orientation | Specify vertical or right-angle orientation, PCB entry direction, mating height and cable exit clearance. |
| PCB footprint | Confirm through-hole or SMT mounting, pad or hole locations, solder-tail dimensions and board thickness. |
| Shroud & latch geometry | Review keyway location, housing dimensions, ejector latch operation and the clearance needed to mate and unmate. |
| Materials & contact finish | Request housing material, contact material and plating details for the exact model and assembly process. |
| Electrical & environmental limits | Confirm current, voltage, temperature and other required performance limits from the selected model documentation. |
| Assembly & packaging | Agree on soldering instructions, pickup caps where applicable, packing format, carrier orientation and quantity per pack. |
Review the approved drawing, mating assembly and sample before ordering. Request the technical documents required for your selected connector.

Select Box Header Connectors in Six Practical Steps
1. Define Pitch & Circuits
Share the pitch, number of contacts, row arrangement and original reference or drawing.
2. Match the Mating Socket
Confirm the mating connector, keyway location and pin numbering together with the cable assembly.
3. Choose the Orientation
Specify vertical or right-angle mounting and the space needed for the connector and cable.
4. Review the PCB Footprint
Check through-hole or SMT mounting, tail dimensions, pad geometry and assembly requirements.
5. Confirm Materials & Finish
Provide contact plating, housing material and environmental requirements for model review.
6. Validate Samples & Supply
Evaluate mating samples, then confirm documentation, order quantity, packaging and lead time.

Box Header Connectors: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a box header and an ejector header?
Both use a shroud around the contacts. An ejector header adds levers for retention and assisted removal of the compatible mating socket. Confirm latch geometry and the mating interface for the selected model.
Does matching pitch guarantee compatibility?
No. Confirm contact count, row spacing, shroud dimensions, polarization, pin numbering and mating depth as well as pitch. Validate the complete connector pair against drawings and samples.
How do I choose vertical or right-angle mounting?
Review the PCB position, enclosure space, cable exit direction and access for mating. The selected orientation must fit the PCB footprint and the assembled equipment.
Can all box headers be used in SMT reflow assembly?
Assembly suitability depends on the selected mounting type, housing material and product instructions. Request the soldering limits and approved footprint for the exact configuration.
What packaging options can I request?
Ask for the formats available for your selected model, such as tubes, trays or tape-and-reel. Confirm pickup features, carrier orientation, quantities and contact protection in the quotation.
What should I include in an OEM or wholesale enquiry?
Send the original reference or drawing, pitch, contact count, mounting orientation, PCB footprint, mating socket, intended application, quantity and packaging requirements. Confirm samples, MOQ, lead time and commercial terms with TONFUL.
