In the fast-evolving consumer electronics industry, from wearable devices to smart home systems and in-vehicle entertainment, reliable connections rely on small yet critical components like pin headers. Though tiny, they are central hubs for signal transmission, power delivery, and PCB interconnection. The KH-2.54PH180-1X5P-L11.5 from Kinghelm stands out as a high-reliability single row pin header purpose-built for consumer electronics, widely trusted by engineers and procurement teams alike for its precise design, quality materials, and superior manufacturing.

Precision Design to Meet Diverse Application Needs

The KH-2.54PH180-1X5P-L11.5 is a single row straight pin header with a standard 2.54mm pitch and 5 pins arranged in a 1*5P configuration. With a total length of 11.5mm, mating pin length of 6mm, solder tail length of 3mm, and plastic height of 2.5mm, this design balances compact size with stable soldering—ideal for space-constrained yet reliability-demanding consumer electronics such as Bluetooth earbud charging cases, smart bracelets, power tools, automotive modules, and smart home control boards.

Engineers favor this standard pitch pin header because it pairs easily with matching pin sockets, ribbon cables, and other connectors, reducing design complexity and compatibility risks. For procurement teams, standardized specifications translate to greater purchasing flexibility and a more stable supply chain.

Premium Materials and Craftsmanship Ensure Electrical Performance

A quality pin header starts with quality materials and precision manufacturing. The KH-2.54PH180-1X5P-L11.5 uses high-grade copper pins with a plated finish that lowers contact resistance and improves corrosion resistance and conductivity. With a rated current of 3A, it meets the needs of most small and medium-power consumer electronic devices. Operating temperature ranges from -40℃ to +105℃, ensuring stable performance in cold or hot environments worldwide.

The square pin design offers higher mechanical strength and better insertion stability compared to round pins, reducing the risk of contact failure from prolonged use or vibration. This ensures more stable signal transmission and reliable power supply.

Simplified Assembly to Boost Production Efficiency

The KH-2.54PH180-1X5P-L11.5 features a through-hole (straight pin) design that is quick and easy to solder to PCBs. This simplifies assembly processes, improves production speed and consistency, and saves labor and cost in mass production. The product is shipped in bag packaging to protect pins from bending, moisture, and contamination, enabling faster integration into production lines with less time needed for pre-inspection and preparation.

Broad Compatibility Drives Innovative Designs

Thanks to its high compatibility and reliability, this pin header is widely used in consumer electronics for power connections, signal transmission, battery contacts, and module interfaces. Whether for wearables, household appliances, automotive electronics, or industrial control boards, integration is straightforward. Standardized dimensions allow flexible product iteration and easier maintenance or upgrades.

For engineers, this means more design freedom and faster development; for procurement teams, it ensures cost control, secure supply chains, and dependable quality.

Brand Commitment to Quality Assurance

Kinghelm specializes in connectors and RF antennas with rich industry experience and strict quality management. The KH-2.54PH180-1X5P-L11.5 complies with multiple testing standards and can be customized to meet unique product requirements. Choosing Kinghelm means choosing stable product quality, professional technical support, and reliable after-sales service.

Small Details, Big Value

While pin headers may represent a tiny fraction of the BOM cost, their importance can’t be overstated: contact failure, corrosion, or poor solder joints can cause product malfunctions or damage. The robust design and stable performance of the KH-2.54PH180-1X5P-L11.5 reduce after-sales risks, enhance product reliability, and improve user satisfaction, ultimately helping companies avoid costly repairs or recalls.
