6-position SMD header — standard 0.100" pitch, cuttable strip
That thin gold layer is intended for low mating-cycle applications — think one-time assembly or infrequent disconnect, not daily field reconnects. The header is marked 'Cuttable' — the 6-position strip can be snapped to shorter lengths (2, 3, 4, or 5 positions) on the assembly line, reducing the number of unique SKUs needed for a product family. The Pick & Place feature means the tape-and-reel packaging is compatible with automated placement equipment.
The SMD termination places the solder joints on the bottom side of the board — no through-holes, so the opposite side is free for routing. Applications listed include General Purpose, Industrial, Medical, and Telecommunications — a broad signal-duty range where the 3 A per contact ceiling is adequate for logic-level power and I/O signals.
Cross-shop alternatives within the same series
The closest functional sibling is 10129383-906001ALF — identical in all electrical and mechanical specs (6 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch, gold flash, 3 A, 110 VDC) but packaged in Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, and Digi-Reel®. The -001ALF suffix may offer a different packaging cost structure for volume orders. For a bulk-packaged version, 10129383-906002BLF matches the same specs but ships in bulk rather than tape-and-reel, which can lower per-unit cost for manual assembly lines. If the BOM requires 8 positions instead of 6, 10129383-908001ALF is the direct 8-position sibling in the same series, same pitch, same gold flash, same packaging options.
