Huizhou Antenk Electronics Co., Ltd. (IATF16949, ISO9001, ISO14001 certified) introduces the 2.50mm Pitch 90° Wafer Connector Series. This right angle wire to board header is designed for applications requiring a balance between current capacity and board space efficiency. The 2.50mm pitch offers a compact alternative to 2.54mm types while providing improved creepage distance compared to 2.00mm versions, making it ideal for moderately humid environments. The housing is molded from high temperature UL94 V-0 PBT or nylon 66, featuring a reinforced locking ramp that delivers audible tactile mating feedback. Contacts are stamped from phosphor bronze with selective tin or gold plating, rated up to 5A per circuit. Key specifications include contact resistance below 15 milliohms, insulation resistance above 1000 megohms, dielectric strength 1000V AC, and operating temperature from -40 to +105 degrees Celsius. The 90° orientation allows parallel PCB mounting with vertical cable exit, optimizing cable routing in thin enclosures. RoHS and REACH compliant, UL recognized under E472792.
Applications include compact power supplies, LED drivers, smart home devices, industrial control panels, battery management systems, and automotive interior lighting. Usage method: solder the through hole pins to the PCB using wave or hand soldering. Mate with a corresponding 2.50mm crimp style female housing; the lock ramp engages with a click. Precautions: do not exceed 5A per circuit, ensure terminals are fully crimped, verify latch engagement before operation. Advantages over competitors: Antenks 2.50mm wafer series features a dual contact beam design that increases normal force by 20 percent compared to single beam designs, ensuring low contact resistance under vibration. The housing includes terminal position assurance (TPA) ribs to prevent backout. Tight coplanarity within 0.08mm eliminates soldering defects. Low MOQs of 1000 units with no tooling fees for standard circuit counts (2 to 16 pins).
Production process: in house mold design, injection molding on 10 Japanese and Taiwanese machines, high speed stamping of terminals on 9 presses, selective plating (tin or gold), automated pin insertion and right angle forming, 100 percent coplanarity and contact alignment inspection, contact resistance and insulation tests, thermal cycling test (5 cycles from -40 to +105°C), 48 hour salt spray test, and final QC with lot traceability. Free samples, 2D and 3D CAD drawings, and 24 hour technical support available. Contact Antenk for custom plating, color, and pin count options.
