The WAGO 231-532/001-000 is a male PCB header designed for secure and reliable horizontal mounting. It's ideal for engineers and technicians building or maintaining electronic circuits requiring robust connections. Its key benefit is the closed-end pin housing that prevents mismating, ensuring connection integrity. A potential caveat is its specific 5.08mm pitch, requiring compatible mating connectors.

The 'closed ends' mean the sides of the pin housing are enclosed, preventing the header from being accidentally inserted into a mating connector in the wrong orientation or depth, thus reducing the risk of mismating.
The 5.08mm pin spacing is a standard measurement that ensures compatibility with a wide range of mating connectors designed with the same pitch. This allows for flexibility in choosing components for your circuit.
This header is rated for a maximum of 12A. For applications exceeding this current, a different connector with a higher rating would be required.
The WAGO 231-532/001-000 can operate within a temperature range of -60°C to 100°C.
No, this header features angled solder pins designed for through-hole mounting (THM) onto a PCB, not for surface mounting.
Ensure the PCB holes are clean, use appropriate solder and flux, and apply heat evenly to both the pin and the PCB pad for a strong, reliable joint.
Inspect solder joints for bridges, cold joints, or insufficient solder. Re-solder if necessary, ensuring proper flux and temperature.
Verify that the mating connector has a 5.08mm pin spacing and is designed for this type of header. Ensure no debris is present in the header or connector.
Check the integrity of the solder joints to the PCB and the strain relief on the cable connected to the mating part. Ensure the operating temperature is within the specified range (-60°C to 100°C).
Setup: The 231-532/001-000 is designed for direct horizontal mounting onto a PCB. Align the angled solder pins with the corresponding holes on the PCB. Ensure proper soldering techniques are used for a strong, reliable connection. The mating connector should have a 5.08mm pitch to ensure compatibility.
Compatibility: This header is compatible with WAGO connectors and other mating connectors that feature a 5.08mm pin spacing. Always verify the specifications of the mating connector to ensure a secure fit and correct electrical connection.
Care: As a permanent PCB-mounted component, the header itself requires minimal maintenance. Keep the area around the connection clean and free from dust or debris. Avoid excessive force on the connector or the PCB. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Ensure the system is powered down before any cleaning or inspection.
