Board-to-Board Stacking
The 20021121-00014T8LF: Unshrouded male pin header, 0.120" (3.05mm) mating pin length — mates with a matching Minitek127 receptacle. Suitable for low-vibration board stacks where the mated assembly is not subject to constant shock.
SMT Termination and Handling
Surface mount termination — the square pins reflow onto the board pads. The tube packaging keeps the pins aligned during pick-and-place. The 14 positions are all loaded, so no depopulated rows to account for on the footprint.
Comparing the 14-Position to the 10-Position Sibling
The 14-position variant (20021121-00014T8LF) and the 10-position sibling (20021121-00010T8LF) share identical pitch, row spacing, plating, and current rating. The only difference is the pin count — 14 circuits vs 10 circuits. Both are Active and in the same Minitek127 series. If the BOM calls for 14 positions, the 10-position part does not fit without a board spin.
