Overview

The TE Connectivity 294648-E PCB Mount Header is a vertically oriented, 2-position wire-to-board connector designed for reliable signal and power interconnection in compact PCB designs. Part of the ERNI MaxiBridge series, this header features a 2.54 mm [0.1 in] centerline pitch with fully shrouded contacts to prevent accidental shorting and ensure precise mating alignment. The gold (Au) plated contacts deliver superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, maintaining stable signal integrity over extended operational lifetimes in industrial and electronic applications. This surface mount termination header is optimized for automated assembly processes, offering space-efficient PCB integration without compromising mechanical robustness. The vertical mounting configuration reduces board real estate usage while providing secure wire-to-board connections for low to moderate current applications. Typical use cases include control panels, automation systems, test equipment, and consumer electronics where reliable, high-density interconnects are required. Key specifications include a 2-position configuration, 2.54 mm pitch, fully shrouded design, and gold-plated contacts. The surface mount termination method ensures compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. This connector is ideal for engineers seeking a compact, high-reliability interface for signal transmission in constrained PCB layouts. The 294648-E header is specified for applications requiring stable electrical performance with minimal signal loss, making it suitable for both analog and digital circuits. Its design prioritizes contact durability and mating reliability, reducing the risk of intermittent connections in vibration-prone environments. For applications demanding higher pole counts or different mounting styles, TE Connectivity offers complementary headers in the ERNI MaxiBridge series with 24-position configurations and through-hole termination options.
