The standout spec here is the 1200V rating — that's not common for a 8.89mm pitch connector, and it points to applications like power distribution in industrial controls, EV charging circuits, or server PSU boards where creepage distances matter. Only 2 of the 8 positions are loaded — the header body is a full 8-position mold, but the contact count is selective. That means the BOM line needs to match the loaded circuits, not the physical cavity count. If you need all 8 circuits live, this isn't the variant; you'd want the fully populated sibling. The 4A per circuit rating is modest for the physical size, but at 1200V the limiting factor is clearance and creepage, not current capacity. For higher cycle counts, you'd want gold.
Mating and fit
This is a male pin header — mates with the corresponding Minitek MicroSpace™ receptacle housing (not included here). The latch holder fastening type means the mating half needs a matching latch feature; the connection locks audibly when fully seated. The 0.350-inch (8.89mm) pitch is wide enough for hand-routing power traces, and the 0.096-inch row spacing keeps the pair compact.
