Datasheet Summary: .100″ (2.54mm) Dual Row Through Hole Vertical Mount Connectors

This datasheet presents the 9000 series of dual row through-hole vertical mount connectors, commonly referred to as “Postibox.” These connectors are used for creating interconnections in electronic devices. The product number legend, “90XX-2XX-30X,” breaks down specific characteristics of the connector, including tail configuration, number of positions per row, contact finish, and insulator material. Details within the part number are defined by a sequence of digits and letters that correspond to specific properties and configurations.

Key Specifications

Tail Configuration: There are multiple tail configurations available, specified by different numerical codes within the part number. The configurations vary based on the grid dimensions, which are either on a .100″ (2.54mm) X .164″ (4.17mm) grid or a .100″ (2.54mm) X .100″ (2.54mm) grid.

Contact Finish: Contact finishes have various codes indicating plating materials, such as 60/40 tin/lead (SnPb), nickel, and selective gold plating. The selective gold plating is used in the mating area, while tin/lead or nickel are used on solder tails.

Insulator Material: The insulators are made of either Glass-Filled Polyester (PCT) or Class Filled Polyester (PBT), both recognized under UL 94V-0 for flammability rating. The colors available are standard for each material type.

Additional Information

Mating Headers: These connectors are intended to mate with the 9100 series of headers.

Contact Material: The contacts within these connectors are made of phosphor bronze, which is known for its good electrical conductivity and resilience.

Electrical Performance: Details regarding the contact resistance, current rating, or voltage rating are omitted but can be potentially found in the subsequent pages of the datasheet.

Physical Design: A schematic diagram illustrates the physical layout of the connectors, including the number of circuits and dimensions. Specific part numbers are given alongside dimensions to help users choose the correct connector variant for their needs. The connectors have a dual row design to maximize the number of connections in a compact space.

Company Information: The datasheet is provided by Methode Electronics, Inc., based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, USA, with contact information including telephone number, fax, email, and web address for further inquiries or support.
