2mm pitch pin header
The 2.00mm pitch pin header is a commonly used board-to-board connector widely applied in industrial control, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and communication equipment. Compared to traditional 2.54mm pitch headers, it offers a smaller footprint and more compact arrangement, making it ideal for circuit board designs requiring high-density mounting.
What is a 2mm Pitch Pin Header?
The 2.00mm Pitch Pin Header is a common electronic connector consisting of neatly arranged metal pins and an insulated base. It establishes reliable electrical connections between circuit boards or between a circuit board and other components. “Pitch” refers to the center-to-center distance between pins, and 2.00mm represents a compact design standard enabling higher density arrangements within limited PCB space.
Compared to traditional 2.54mm pitch pin headers, the 2.00mm variant occupies less space, making it suitable for miniaturized, highly integrated electronic devices. It can handle both signal transmission and medium-to-low current loads, commonly appearing in industrial control, consumer electronics, and automotive electronics. As such, it stands as one of the most frequently used standard connectors in modern circuit design.
