Board Layout Fit for 0.100-Inch Grids
The 10077239-416LF: 16 positions loaded in two rows with 0.100" row spacing keep the connector width under 0.5 inch, fitting tight board-edge real estate. Unshrouded design means the male pins are exposed after mating — plan for a keep-out zone around the header to avoid accidental shorting against metal enclosures or adjacent boards.
The 3 A rating is typical for signal interconnect; if your application draws near that limit per pin, derate for ambient temperature above 25°C per the standard copper derating curve.
Termination Options for Assembly
Press-fit tail allows solderless insertion into plated through-holes — suitable for backplane assembly where reflow is not an option. The solder option supports rework in prototype or low-volume builds.
