Product Overview
This dual-row 12-contact component carrier header features a standard 2x6 pinout on 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) centers, designed for mounting discrete components or creating modular plug-in sub-assemblies. Identified under part number M1250-0159, the connector provides gold-plated lower through-hole pins for reliable board insertion and upper tin-finished slotted fork terminals for direct lead soldering.
Key Features
- 12 contact positions arranged in a 2x6 dual-row configuration
- Standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pin spacing and row-to-row pitch
- Coined solder fork upper terminals for component lead attachment
- Gold-plated lower male pins for through-hole board or socket connection
- Molded black thermoplastic insulator body
Applications
- Building custom plug-in resistor networks or diode arrays for standard 0.100-inch sockets
- Prototyping modular filter or jumper circuits on breadboards and perfboards
- Interfacing daughtercards or wire harnesses to standard 0.100-inch pitch headers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin spacing on this header?
The pins are spaced at standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inches) center-to-center along each row and between the two rows.
What type of terminals are on the top of the connector?
The top features slotted fork solder terminals designed to capture and hold component leads or jumper wires during hand soldering.
Does this header fit a standard 0.300-inch DIP socket?
No. Both the pin pitch along each row and the row-to-row spacing are 2.54 mm (0.100 inches). It fits dual-row 0.100-inch sockets and breadboard grids rather than wider 0.300-inch DIP sockets.
Simple headers like this bridge the gap between permanent circuits and quick modular swaps. Solder your components into the forks, plug in, and keep the build moving.
