SPIDER Automation | 2.54mm 5-Pin Female Dupont Crimp Terminal Connector | Wire-to-Board & Electrical Interconnection
The 2.54mm 5-Pin Female Dupont Crimp Terminal Connector is a compact multi-position electrical interconnection component designed to mate with a compatible male Dupont plug connector. Its five-position arrangement brings individual wire connections into a single organised interface, making it useful for grouped signal and low-current power wiring in electronic assemblies. The female contact configuration provides a plug-in mating connection that can be disconnected when equipment requires inspection, replacement or wiring changes.
Supporting 28–22 AWG conductors, this connector is specified for a maximum current of 1A and a maximum operating voltage of 250V AC/DC. Its operating temperature range of −25°C to +85°C and dielectric withstand rating of 800V AC for one minute define its stated electrical and environmental limits. The 2.54mm pitch provides a standardised contact-spacing format for compatible Dupont connector systems, subject to matching the mating connector’s position count and contact geometry.
Product Overview & Connector Design
This component provides a five-position female connection interface for grouped electrical wiring. Each position is intended to mate with the corresponding contact of a compatible male Dupont connector, allowing multiple conductors to be connected or disconnected through one plug-in interface.
The 2.54mm contact pitch defines the spacing between adjacent positions. This spacing is widely used in electronic interconnection systems, but pitch alone does not establish complete compatibility. The mating connector must also match the five-position arrangement, housing profile and contact geometry to ensure proper engagement.
Electrical Characteristics & Wire Compatibility
- Conductor Range: Compatible with 28–22 AWG wires, covering a range of conductor sizes used in compact electronic wiring assemblies.
- Maximum Current: 1A maximum, subject to the connector’s operating conditions and appropriate wire selection.
- Maximum Voltage: 250V AC/DC maximum rating.
- Operating Temperature: −25°C to +85°C.
- Dielectric Withstand: 800V AC for one minute as a dielectric withstand test rating, not a continuous operating-voltage specification.
For reliable electrical integration, select wire within the supported gauge range and ensure that the conductor is correctly terminated in the female contact. The complete connection must remain within the applicable current, voltage and temperature limits.
Applications
The five-position female Dupont connector is suitable for compact wiring arrangements where several conductors need to terminate into one compatible plug-in interface.
- Electronic Controller Wiring: Grouped connections between compatible controller boards and external wiring assemblies.
- Microcontroller Interfaces: Multi-wire signal and low-current power connections in compatible development and control electronics.
- PCB Interconnections: Wiring between circuit boards and matching male Dupont connector headers.
- Sensor Connections: Multi-conductor connections for compatible sensor modules and electronic input interfaces.
- Embedded Electronics: Internal wiring connections in compact embedded control equipment.
- Signal Distribution: Organised routing of multiple signal conductors through a common mating connector.
- Electronic Prototyping: Reconfigurable plug-in wiring for circuit evaluation and interface testing.
- Equipment Maintenance: Replaceable connector interfaces that can be disconnected for inspection or servicing.

Connection & Operating Recommendations
- Verify Mating Compatibility: Confirm the male connector has a matching 2.54mm pitch, five-position arrangement, compatible housing dimensions and matching contact geometry.
- Select the Correct Wire: Use conductors within the supported 28–22 AWG range and ensure the selected wire is suitable for the intended electrical load.
- Prepare the Conductors: Strip the wire insulation to suit the crimp contact’s termination area without nicking or cutting conductor strands.
- Make Secure Crimp Connections: Use an appropriate crimping tool and compatible terminal tooling to form a mechanically secure conductor termination. Avoid relying on solder or twisting as a substitute for a proper crimp.
- Inspect Each Termination: Check that conductors are retained securely, no loose strands are exposed and adjacent contacts cannot short against one another.
- Check Contact Alignment: Align the female connector with the mating male plug before insertion. Do not force mismatched or misaligned connectors together.
- Observe Electrical Limits: Keep the operating voltage and current within the specified maximum ratings. The 800V AC withstand value is a test rating, not an operating-voltage allowance.
- Disconnect Before Servicing: Isolate the circuit supply before inserting, removing or inspecting the connector.
