The EDAC Minitek 57102-G08-08ULF is a 16-position dual-row board-to-board header at 2.00 mm pitch, designed for through-hole soldering in mezzanine or stacked board configurations. All 16 circuits are loaded — no partial-position variants to mismatch. The connector mates with the matching Minitek 2.00 mm receptacle housing; the push-pull fastening type holds the pair together without external hardware, making it suited for internal board-stacking in industrial and consumer electronics. Contact finish splits across two zones: the mating interface carries 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold (GXT™) for wear resistance and low contact resistance at first mate, while the solder-post side is tin-plated at 78.7 µin (2.00 µm) to promote reliable solder joint formation. The gold thickness on the mating face supports a workable cycle life for non-frequent mating; the tin post finish is standard for wave or hand-solder board assembly. Rated 2 A per circuit at 200 V AC/DC — a signal-level rating that fits low-power board-to-board signal paths, not power-distribution rails. The 0.079-inch (2.00 mm) row spacing and square pin geometry define a tight dual-row footprint; verify the z-height budget against the insulation height of 0.059 inch (1.50 mm).
The 57102-G08-08ULF holds 16 positions in the 57102 base series. Other position counts within the same base share the pitch, dual-row layout, and plating split — position count is the primary differentiating axis when selecting within the family.
The 57102-G08-08ULF is the pin header half — it mates with the corresponding Minitek 2.00 mm receptacle housing in the 57102 series. The male pin contact is square-shaped and 0.157 inch (4.00 mm) long at the mating face; the overall post length is 0.335 inch (8.51 mm) including the 0.118 inch (3.00 mm) solder-tail section. The unshrouded header has no polarisation key of its own — rely on the receptacle housing for keying and polarity protection.
Packaged in tube — the buyer running high-volume SMT assembly should confirm whether tube feeding suits the placement equipment or whether a reel-packaged sibling exists in the series. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating and copper alloy contact material establish compliance for most industrial and consumer end-products.
Listed Active — in standard production with no stated end-of-life date or last-time-buy window on this record. No official successor MPN is cross-referenced; confirm with the manufacturer if long-term continuity is required.
