Molex BRAD C-Grid III Vertical PCB Header 10-Way 2 Row 2.54mm Pitch

Molex C-Grid III Vertical PCB Header is a 10-way, two-row through-hole header with 2.54 mm pitch, designed for signal and wire-to-board applications.

Overview

This vertical PCB header features gold-plated brass contacts housed within a black polyester shroud. Its through-hole termination provides a solder connection to printed circuit boards. The C-Grid III system uses a uniform locking mechanism across all contacts, allowing full interchangeability between different housing styles. The header accepts both discrete wire and ribbon cable connectors, and its box contact design maintains a consistent mating interface across all termination techniques.
