10 Pin FRC Shrouded Male Box Connector (pack of 20)

Description:
The 10-Pin FRC Shrouded Male Box Connector is a dual-row, through-hole PCB header designed for reliable interconnection with flat ribbon cables and IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) assemblies. It features 10 male contacts in a 5×2 arrangement with a standard 2.54 mm (0.1″) pitch, housed in a shrouded box header that helps prevent misalignment and incorrect mating. The shroud provides physical protection and polarization, ensuring consistent and secure cable connections in electronic systems.

Key Features:

• 10 Pins (5×2 double row) for multiple signal paths or power lines.

• FRC/IDC compatible design — mates with standard flat ribbon cable connectors.

• 2.54 mm (0.1″) pitch, widely used in electronics and prototyping.

• Shrouded box header for improved polarization and protection during mating.

• PCB-mount (through-hole) for robust mechanical retention and reliable soldered connections.

• Ideal for programming headers, signal interfaces, and removable cable links.

Typical Applications:

• Microcontroller and embedded system interfaces

• Flat ribbon cable connections between boards

• Prototyping and development tool headers

• Industrial control and automation wiring

• Data and signal breakout headers

Technical Notes:
These connectors are commonly used where secure, cost-effective interconnections are required and are especially suited for environments where frequent cable plugging/unplugging is needed. The shrouded design helps protect the contacts and guides mating connectors properly, reducing installation errors.
