2.0mm Pitch Brass Female 12-Pin Header for Automotive PCB Panel Mount Magnetic Bulgin Audio Jack Connector

Compact 12-pin female header with secure locking, low mated height, and vibration-resistant connection design.
Designed for automotive PCB panels, audio interfaces, control units, and compact electronic assemblies where space, retention and connection stability are critical.

Product Highlights

• 2.0mm Pitch | 12-Pin Female Header — compact layout for space-constrained PCB designs.

• ZIF / Non-ZIF Locking Options — choose the locking structure according to mating frequency, cable retention, and assembly requirements.

• Stable Mating Retention — locking structure helps prevent connector separation and contact movement under mechanical shock and vibration.

• Low Mated Height — optimized for compact PCB and panel assemblies; exact height can be customized to the mating system.

• Vibration-Resistant Design — suitable for automotive and equipment environments where repeated vibration may cause micro-movement at the contact interface.

• Brass Contacts — provide a practical balance of conductivity, mechanical strength, and manufacturability.

• PCB / Panel Integration — available in configurations for different mounting and assembly requirements.

Product Advantages

1. Secure Locking for Vibration-Prone Applications

The ZIF / Non-ZIF locking structure is designed to maintain controlled mating and retention between the connector and its mating component.

This is particularly useful in automotive PCB assemblies where vibration, shock, and repeated mechanical movement can affect connector retention.

2. Low-Profile Mated Design

A reduced mated height helps engineers save vertical installation space without changing the 2.0 mm pitch.

This makes the connector suitable for compact control boards, audio modules, instrument panels, and space-constrained electronic assemblies.

3. Brass Contact Structure

Brass contacts provide mechanical strength and stable contact geometry while supporting different plating options according to current, signal, and environmental requirements.

4. Designed Around the Assembly Process

Different termination and packaging options allow the same basic connector concept to be adapted to:

• Automated SMT assembly

• PCB through-hole assembly

• Manual production

• Automotive panel assembly

• Low-volume engineering builds

Compatible / Alternative to International Connector Brands

This 2.0 mm pitch 12-pin female header can be developed as an alternative source for comparable connector families from TE Connectivity, Hirose and other international connector manufacturers, subject to matching:

• Pitch

• Pin count

• Contact arrangement

• PCB footprint

• Mated height

• Locking method

• Contact plating

• Electrical rating

• Mechanical envelope

For replacement projects, engineers can provide the original part number, drawing, or PCB footprint. We can check dimensional compatibility and recommend a matching configuration.

Important: “Compatible / alternative” means a replacement can be evaluated based on mechanical and electrical requirements. It does not imply universal drop-in compatibility with every international part number.
