It carries all 16 positions loaded on a 2.54mm mating pitch with a 2.43mm row spacing, giving a compact but routable footprint for signal and moderate-power harnesses. Rated 4 A per contact at 48 V, this header handles signal-level current and low-voltage power distribution — think sensor feeds, actuator control, and interior lighting circuits in a vehicle or machine. The housing is a full 4-wall shroud with a latch holder fastening system, so the mating receptacle clicks in and stays locked under vibration — a real advantage in an automotive or industrial cabinet where a loose connector means a service call.
SMT termination and board-level features
The board guide aligns the part during pick-and-place, and the solder retention pads hold it in place through reflow — no secondary hand-soldering or through-hole staking. It ships in Tape & Reel packaging, which feeds directly into a standard SMT line without a tray changeover.
