What Is a Box Header Connector?

A Box Header Connector is a male pin connector with a rectangular, shrouded housing designed for board-to-board and board-to-cable interconnections. It ensures precise mating alignment and mechanical stability, making it a fundamental component in industrial automation, communication equipment, consumer electronics, and automotive systems.

Box headers, type of electrical connector, are typically produced in dual-row configurations with 1.27mm, 2.0mm, 2.54mm, or 5.08mm pitch options. The enclosed design protects the contacts from dust and mechanical damage, allowing for reliable signal transmission even under vibration or thermal stress.
