Key Features
- 16-position dual-row right-angle through-hole PCB header with 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, providing compact board-edge connectivity in space-constrained designs
- Gold (Au) plated termination contacts delivering contact resistance as low as 15 mΩ for reliable, low-loss signal transmission
- Polarized housing preventing incorrect mating and ensuring foolproof connector orientation in 2-row rectangular configurations
Applications
The HIF3BA-16PA-2.54DS(71) is ideal for PCB-to-cable or board-to-board connections in industrial control panels, embedded systems, and laboratory instruments where a right-angle 16-position 2.54 mm pitch header is needed. Its through-hole construction provides robust mechanical retention, making it well suited for applications subject to vibration or frequent mating cycles, such as test fixture interfaces, motor drive boards, and programmable logic controller (PLC) I/O expansion modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and number of positions on the HIF3BA-16PA-2.54DS(71)?
The HIF3BA-16PA-2.54DS(71) features 16 positions arranged in 2 rows of 8, with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) contact pitch. It has gold-plated through-hole terminations with a specified contact resistance of 15 mΩ, ensuring low-resistance connections for signal and low-power applications.
Why is through-hole mounting preferred for the HIF3BA-16PA-2.54DS(71) in vibration-prone applications?
Through-hole mounting provides mechanical anchoring into the PCB with solder joints penetrating all layers, giving the 16-position connector significantly greater pull-out and shear resistance than SMT alternatives. This makes it preferable for industrial environments where vibration, mechanical stress, or frequent mating cycles could weaken surface-only solder joints.
Can the polarized HIF3BA-16PA-2.54DS(71) header be mated with standard 2.54 mm pitch IDC or crimp connectors?
Yes, the polarized right-angle 16-position header is mechanically compatible with standard IDC ribbon cable connectors and crimp housings using a 2.54 mm pitch rectangular contact pattern. The polarization key prevents reversed mating, which is critical when routing 16-pin signal buses in embedded or industrial wiring harnesses.
