The 52601-S20-8LF is a 0.100/2.54 mm low-profile shrouded vertical header connector designed for reliable through-hole PCB interconnections. This connector features a 2×10 position configuration (20 total positions) with Style D housing constructed from high-temperature thermoplastic or mineral-filled LCP flame-retardant material rated UL94V-0. The pins are manufactured from phosphor-bronze with optional gold or GXT plating, and the connector includes a 0.230/5.84 inch post length with 0.503/12.78 inch reference dimensions. The housing is rated to withstand 260°C peak temperature for 15 seconds in wave solder applications and 20 seconds in reflow oven environments, making it suitable for lead-free soldering processes. This connector is commonly used in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and consumer electronics where reliable signal and power distribution is required.
