14-Pin, 1.27mm Pitch, Dual-Row SMT Receptacle
The 20021321-00014D4LF is a 14-position, dual-row female socket header from the Minitek127® 1.27mm series, designed for board-to-board stacking. The dual-row layout (two rows of 7) keeps the connector width compact for dense PCB layouts. The Pick and Place feature allows automated assembly — the connector is packaged in a tube and the flat top surface is compatible with vacuum nozzles, reducing placement cost in volume production.
The 1.27mm pitch and 1.27mm row spacing define the PCB footprint: two rows of 7 through-hole or SMT pads. The insulation height of 4.50mm (0.177 inches) sets the mated stack height — the receptacle sits above the board by that dimension, so the mating male header must account for the total board-to-board gap. In high-vibration environments, a secondary retention method (board locks or adhesive) may be needed. The square contact shape mates with standard square-pin headers. The SMT termination with tin-plated posts (100µin thickness) is designed for reflow soldering.
