Phoenix Contact 2P 5.08mm Shrouded Header (1755736)
Overview
The Phoenix Contact 1755736 is a 2-position, shrouded (4-sided) male header for vertical through-hole PCB mounting with a 0.200 inch (5.08 mm) pitch. It uses solder termination and is rated to 12 A (IEC) and 630 V (IEC). The shrouded design provides polarization and protection against mis-mating, and the through-hole construction gives strong mechanical retention for wire-side mating connectors or plugs.
Why Choose This Part
The 5.08 mm pitch and 12 A rating make this header suitable for small power connections while keeping ample spacing for ferrules and screw-type mating connectors. The shrouded (4-sided) design provides polarization and improved mating alignment, reducing risk of incorrect wiring. Through-hole solder termination yields strong mechanical support for repeated mating cycles and wire insertions compared with surface-mount equivalents.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
This is a passive PCB-mounted connector; start by reviewing the Phoenix Contact datasheet for recommended PCB footprint and hole sizes. Use through-hole soldering (wave or manual) practices appropriate for plated-through holes and follow any manufacturer guidance for soldering and cleaning. For field wiring, choose the correct mating plug or terminal housing from Phoenix Contact and use ferrules or properly stripped solid/stranded wire per the mating connector instructions.
