Category Overview
Board-side connector options for internal PCB-to-wire routing
Wire-to-board connectors are used where a PCB needs a reliable interface to a wire, cable, or internal harness. This page focuses on board-side connector selection, including wafer and housing interfaces, box header and ejector header styles, and IDC or crimp-style assembly examples.
For PCB-to-PCB mating, use Board-to-Board Connectors. For processed wires, harness routing, cable length, and assembly manufacturing, use Cable Assemblies.
Typical project review points
- PCB header or wafer interface
- Housing and mating direction
- Crimp or IDC assembly requirement
- Pitch and position count shown in the drawing
- Selected fit-style connector options for review

Wire-to-board connector pitch and mounting matrix
Current source materials show the following connector families. A complete interface normally includes the PCB-mounted wafer or header, a mating crimp housing, terminals, and the optional finished cable assembly. Availability, position count, mating parts, and electrical ratings must be confirmed against the approved drawing before quotation.

Send the complete mating requirement
For an accurate review, identify the PCB header or wafer, crimp housing, terminal, wire gauge, cable length if assembly is required, mating direction, pitch, and position count. Similar pitch or appearance alone does not confirm interchangeability.
Product Options
Wire-to-board connector product examples
Use these product groups to guide an RFQ or drawing review. LinkManu can help check whether selected fit-style connector options may be reviewed for your project.
Ejector Header Connectors
Ejector header connector projects may be reviewed when a board-side header needs mechanical guidance for the mating cable side.
Box Header Connectors
Box header connector options may support PCB-mounted header interfaces and are commonly reviewed together with IDC or ribbon cable requirements.
Wafer Housing Connectors
Wafer housing connector projects may be reviewed for PCB-to-wire interfaces, including source-material examples such as 0.60 / 0.80, 1.27, and 1.50 wafer housing connector references.
IDC and Crimp-Style Assemblies
Source materials include a 0.8mm pitch 4-position crimp-style IDC connector assembly reference for compact internal electrical interconnects.
Applications
Application scenarios for PCB-to-wire interfaces
Internal device wiring
PCB-to-wire connection between a board and internal cable or harness-side interface.

Structure and interface review
For wafer, header, housing, IDC, or crimp-style projects, the review should confirm the PCB-side connector, mating cable side, and assembly constraints before sampling.
Project validation support
Project review should be based on approved drawings, fit checks, and sample validation. Final suitability depends on the drawing, mating requirement, and project-specific validation.

FAQ
Wire-to-board connector FAQs
What is the difference between wire-to-board connectors and board-to-board connectors?
Wire-to-board connectors connect a PCB to a wire, cable, or harness-side interface. Board-to-board connectors connect two PCBs together and should be handled on the Board-to-Board Connectors page.
Can LinkManu review wafer housing connector projects?
Yes. Source-material examples include wafer housing connector references, and LinkManu can review selected fit-style connector options when project drawings or target connector information are provided.
Can you review PCB connectors for wire-to-board projects?
Yes. LinkManu can review PCB connectors for wire-to-board projects when the drawing, pitch, position count, housing or header requirement, and mating cable-side information are provided.
Does this page cover cable assembly manufacturing?
This page focuses on PCB-side wire to board connector selection. For wire processing, cable length, terminal crimping, harness routing, or assembly manufacturing, please use the Cable Assemblies page.
Can high-current wire-to-board projects be reviewed?
High-current wire-to-board projects may be reviewed, but power-focused projects should remain under Power Connectors. Final suitability depends on the drawing, mating requirement, and project-specific validation.
What information should I send for a wire to board connector RFQ?
Please send the target connector type, pitch, position count, mating direction, housing or header information, cable-side requirement, drawing files, and expected application environment.
