MTFH25-210GB0-03A15
Female Header Double Row PH2.54mm 10*2Pin 180 Degree DIP

Key Features of the 2x10 Female Header

2.54mm Pitch and 20-Position Layout

The connector contains 20 contact positions in a 2x10 dual-row arrangement. This standardized layout allows engineers and purchasing teams to identify the required row configuration and contact count clearly.

The terms 20 Pin Female Header, 20 Position Female Header and 2x10 Female Header all describe the same contact arrangement on this model.

Straight Vertical Mating Direction

The connector is installed vertically on the PCB, allowing a compatible male pin header to mate perpendicular to the board.

This configuration is also described as:

• Straight female header

• Vertical female header

• 180-degree female header

• Through-hole female header

• THT female socket header

“Straight” and “vertical through-hole” are the preferred descriptions for international product specifications.

Through-Hole PCB Installation

The connector tails pass through the PCB and are soldered on the opposite side. Before releasing a PCB layout, confirm the hole pattern, tail dimensions and connector outline against the approved technical drawing.

PA6T Black Housing

The main housing uses black PA6T. Its published operating temperature range is -40°C to +105°C.

Material suitability should be evaluated according to the customer’s soldering process, equipment environment and applicable project requirements.

3A Current Rating

The connector has a rated current of 3A AC/DC. Actual allowable current in an assembly also depends on contact condition, mating connector, conductor size, ambient temperature and PCB design.

Defined Electrical Performance

The published electrical parameters include:

• 20mΩ maximum contact resistance

• 1000MΩ minimum insulation resistance

• 500V AC withstand voltage for one minute

• -40°C to +105°C operating temperature

These values provide a reference for engineering evaluation and incoming inspection requirements.

Mating with a Compatible Pin Header

This female socket header is designed to mate with a compatible 2.54mm pitch male header. Matching the pitch and contact count alone does not confirm complete compatibility.

Before approving the connector, verify:

Browse our pin header connector range when selecting a possible mating component. The final male and female combination should be confirmed using the drawings and physical samples.

Applications

The 2.54mm pitch 20 position female header can be evaluated for PCB and module interconnections in the following equipment.

Industrial Control Equipment

The dual-row connector can link control boards, expansion modules, interface boards and other replaceable electronic assemblies.

Embedded Computing Systems

It may be used for controller boards, processor modules, development boards and peripheral interfaces requiring a 2x10 connection layout.

Communication and Networking Equipment

The connector can provide internal board or module connections in routers, communication terminals and network control equipment.

Display and Operator Interfaces

A compatible pin-and-socket combination can connect display boards, keypads, control panels and human-machine interface modules.

Test and Measurement Equipment

The removable mating structure can be evaluated for internal test boards, instrumentation modules and equipment interfaces.

Consumer and Commercial Electronics

This female header may also be used in appliances, smart equipment and other electronic products requiring a vertical 20-position board connection.

Application suitability should be confirmed according to the mechanical load, electrical requirements, mating frequency and operating environment.
