DescriptionThe M-BUS SMD header kit is a surface-mount connector set for custom boards that need a compact M5-Bus interface. It includes 2 x 15P surface-mount female headers and matching pins, with the same spacing and hole count used by Core-style M5-Bus layouts.Use the M-BUS SMD header kit when a PCB needs a low-profile bus connector for a stackable module or controller-facing design. The 2.54mm pitch, positioning posts, and horizontal gold-plated pin header support repeatable placement during PCB assembly.Because the M-BUS SMD header kit is supplied as a 10-set accessory pack, it is suitable for prototype batches, repair stock, education labs, and small DIY hardware runs.Features 2 x 15P SMD connector format: includes matching female headers and pins for M5-Bus style board layouts. 2.54mm pitch: standard spacing supports familiar PCB connector design and alignment. Positioning posts: help keep the SMD header aligned during placement and soldering. Horizontal gold-plated pin header: 3.0mm pin header height supports compact surface-mount builds. 10-set pack: the M-BUS SMD header kit supports repeated prototypes and spare connector preparation. Compact footprint: 9.8 x 39.0 x 5.0mm connector size fits module-scale PCB designs. Specifications Type Surface-mount header accessory kit SMD Female Header 2 x 15P Header Plastic Height 9.2mm Pin Header Height 3.0mm, gold-plated, horizontal mount Pitch 2.54mm Connector Size 9.8 x 39.0 x 5.0mm Net Weight per Piece 2.7g Package Size 138.0 x 93.0 x 6.0mm Gross Weight 49.0g Applications PCB DIY projects requiring an M5-Bus compatible surface-mount connector Custom modules that connect to an M5 main controller through a 2 x 15P bus layout Prototype boards where positioning posts help connector alignment Small hardware batches that need repeated SMD bus connector installation Repair, replacement, and spare-part kits based on the M-BUS SMD header kit format Product List 10 x Bus Socket SMD 13.2 Headers 10 x Bus Socket SMD 13.2 Pins Other ContentBefore soldering, confirm the connector orientation, PCB footprint, pad spacing, and clearance around the positioning posts. A correct footprint helps the surface-mount connector seat flat and keeps the stackable interface aligned.For repeated builds, reserve one M-BUS SMD header kit for test fixtures or spare boards. After assembly, inspect solder joints and continuity before connecting the board to a controller or stacking it with other modules.ResourcesBus Socket SMD 13.2 documentationFAQWhat is this connector kit used for?It is used to add a surface-mount 2 x 15P M5-Bus style connector to custom PCB designs.How many connector sets are included?The package includes 10 headers and 10 matching pins.What is the connector pitch?The connector pitch is 2.54mm.Does it include positioning posts?Yes.
