The Pan Pacific Right-Angle category narrows the Header Sockets (.1"x.1") family to a specific PCB and board-level interconnects format, helping match the mechanical interface before choosing a part number. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include PBD-2X10R (PBD-2X10R 0.1" X 0.1" Pcb Socket 2X10Pin Right Ang) and PBD-2X17R (PBD-2X17R 0.1"X0.1" Pcb Socket 2X17Pin Rt. Angle).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify pitch, row/contact count, straight or right-angle orientation, through-hole/board mounting, mating housing/header and current/contact requirements. Those attributes determine mating compatibility and whether the part is appropriate for the intended equipment or cabling system.
The catalog path is Pan Pacific > Connectors & Components > PCB Mount Headers > Header Sockets (.1"x.1") > Right-Angle. Keeping the manufacturer family, parent interface and exact subcategory together is useful for distinguishing parts that share a similar appearance but use different termination, wiring, impedance, contact or mounting details.
Start with the existing Pan Pacific part number when replacing a component. If it is unavailable, document the mating equipment and the key attributes for right-angle: pitch, row/contact count, straight or right-angle orientation, through-hole/board mounting, mating housing/header and current/contact requirements.
Wallco currently has 25 active Pan Pacific products assigned to this category in the latest catalog export. The category is intended to narrow the choice; final compatibility should be confirmed at the individual part level.
Do not assume that two products in the right-angle family are interchangeable solely because they share a connector family. Pinout, impedance, shielding, termination, shell size, wiring standard or signal direction may differ depending on the interface.
Compare pitch, row/contact count, straight or right-angle orientation, through-hole/board mounting, mating housing/header and current/contact requirements.
Match the complete Pan Pacific part number first. If cross-referencing, compare the mating interface, mechanical format, termination/wiring and electrical or signal requirements before substituting another model.
