Ideal for use in industries such as automotive, medical
and consumer, KK
®
254 Reflow Process Compatible (RPC)
Connector System supports a lead-free solder process and
delivers up to 5.0A and 250V per circuit in a 2.54mm pitch
package
The KK
®
Reflow Process Compatible (RPC) connector system is designed to
support RoHS lead-free initiatives. Designed with a nylon housing, the wire-to-
board system can withstand temperatures up to +260°C.

Features and Benefits
High-temperature nylon housing
Withstands lead-free high-
temperature solder processing up
to +260°C. Does not require the
drying needs of normal nylon
Ideal for high-vibration
environments
Prevents mismating
Allows for drop-in replacement on
existing header applications. Mates
with standard KK receptacles
Inhibits tin whiskering
Ensures secure mating between
headers and receptacles
Optional box-style dual-cantilever
terminal
Polarized friction-lock header
Standard KK header footprint,
vertical, right-angle headers
Matte-tin over nickel plating
PCB receptacles are available in
standard KK
