SCONDAR SCT1506WRS – 1.5 mm Pitch SMD Right‑Angle Header with Secure Locking for High‑Density Board Design

Introduction

The SCONDAR SCT1506WRS is a 1.5 mm pitch surface‑mount right‑angle header designed for high‑density wire‑to‑board applications. Engineered to provide a solid locking feature, this header ensures a highly reliable connection with low insertion force and a positive tactile clicking sensation when mated with a compatible housing. The right‑angle orientation allows cables to be routed parallel to the PCB, making it ideal for space‑constrained and low‑profile designs. It is part of the SCT1506 series and offers a wide selection of pin counts to suit various design requirements.

Key Specifications

Secure Lock Mechanism

The SCT1506WRS incorporates a secure lock mechanism that engages with the mating housing to provide a positive tactile click upon full mating. This solid locking feature prevents accidental disconnection caused by vibration or wire pull forces, ensuring a stable and reliable connection in demanding environments.

Exceptionally Easy to Assemble

Ease of mating is a key advantage of the SCT1506WRS. The header is designed to work with housings that feature low insertion force, allowing operators to mate the connector quickly and with minimal effort. The clear tactile clicking sensation gives immediate feedback that the connection is fully locked, reducing assembly errors and improving production efficiency.

Large Outer Lock Design for Extra Assurance

The SCT1506WRS is compatible with housings that feature a large outer lock design. This provides an extra level of assurance in both lock and lock‑release functions. When mated, the oversized lock lever is easy to grip and operate, simplifying manual disconnection and reducing the risk of damage to the connector or wires during servicing.

Prevention of Incorrect Mating

The header is designed with polarization features to prevent incorrect mating when used with corresponding housings. The asymmetrical shroud ensures that the mating housing can only be inserted in the correct orientation, eliminating the risk of reverse or off‑pitch assembly. This protects the pins and guarantees proper electrical contact every time.

Wide Selection of Pin Counts

The SCT1506WRS is available in a broad range of pin counts to accommodate different high‑density board designs. Please refer to the product datasheet for the complete list of available positions and corresponding PCB footprint dimensions.

Robust Material for SMT Reliability

The SCT1506WRS is built with materials selected for surface‑mount assembly and long‑term reliability:

• Housing: LCP (UL94V‑0) – Liquid Crystal Polymer withstands high reflow soldering temperatures (up to 260°C) without deformation, offers low moisture absorption, and provides excellent dimensional stability. The beige color aids automated optical inspection.

• Pin Material: Phosphor Bronze – Offers excellent strength, conductivity, and fatigue resistance for reliable mating cycles.

• Solder Tab Material: Brass – Provides good mechanical retention to the PCB.

• Finish: Tin Plated – Ensures good solderability and corrosion protection.

Designed for Automated Assembly

The SCT1506WRS is engineered for high‑volume SMT production:

• Vacuum pick‑and‑place compatible – The flat top surface of the right‑angle header provides a reliable area for vacuum nozzles.

• Tape & reel packaging – Supplied in embossed tape for use with high‑speed automatic mounters (standard for SMD components).

• Reflow solder compatible – The LCP housing and tin‑plated solder tabs are optimized for lead‑free reflow soldering processes.

Application Areas

The SCONDAR SCT1506WRS is ideal for high‑density wire‑to‑board connections in:

• Consumer electronics – Portable audio devices, digital cameras, gaming handhelds

• Home appliances – Air conditioners, washing machines, smart home controllers
