TE Connectivity's 2.50 mm and 5.00 mm centerline headers that meet RAST 2.5 and RAST 5 standards are high quality solutions that can help reduce cost for the customer while supporting industrial and appliance safety standards. The RAST portfolio includes several sizes, colors, footprint layouts, locking, and plating options. Available as a standard timer header or a tab header, the contacts are situated within the housing to eliminate contact stubbing. The chain-like housing permits optimized handling within logistics and manufacturing. RAST 2.50 mm centerline headers are used when a smaller profile is needed and are rated 2 A or 6 A, depending upon plating. RAST 5.00 mm pitch headers are used when a lower density/larger profile is acceptable. They can carry a higher current, up to 16 A, for higher power applications. Typically used on a PC board or as a component interface, these headers conform to UL, VDE, and CQC requirements.
