PCB headers and interconnects including PLCC plugs, PGA headers and sockets, BGA and LGA headers, DIP headers, and SOIC plugs

PCB Headers & Interconnects

IC headers, plugs, and mating sockets for adapter systems, interface conversion, development, and socketed test applications.

Overview

PCB headers and interconnects provide the mechanical and electrical interface between device adapters, target systems, and socketed test hardware. Properly selected interconnect components improve contact reliability, simplify adapter integration, and support modular fixture and interface designs.

Repeatable Engagement

Consistent mating interfaces help maintain reliable electrical continuity while reducing wear on target PCBs and interface hardware during repeated insertion cycles.

Serviceable Interfaces

Replaceable headers, plugs, and receptacles allow interconnect systems to be serviced or reconfigured without redesigning the complete adapter assembly.

Modular Stack Height

Interconnect systems support controlled spacing and clearance requirements for dense layouts, tall components, heat sinks, retention hardware, and fixture integration.

Not Finding What You Need?

Some interconnect applications require custom footprint layouts, stack heights, pin configurations, or mechanical alignment features. If the required header, receptacle, or plug configuration is not listed, Adapt-Plus can assist with custom interconnect solutions for adapter systems, fixture integration, and specialized interface applications.

Custom interconnect configurations are available for development hardware, socketed test systems, interface conversion assemblies, and application-specific mechanical requirements.
