Active Sourcing and Lifecycle Status
Surface mount termination (SMT) with a shrouded 4-wall housing. The 0.365" (9.27 mm) insulation height sets the z-height budget above the PCB — plan for clearance under adjacent components or enclosure lids.
Mating contact finish is gold or Gold, GXT™ at 30.0 µinch (0.76 µm) thickness over phosphor bronze base metal. Post (solder tail) finish is tin at 100.0 µinch (2.54 µm) — adequate for solder joint wetting and shelf storage, but not rated for repeated rework or high-temperature exposure beyond the solder profile.
Peer Alternative Comparison
The 52601-G20-8LF ships in tray only, which may affect feeder compatibility on high-volume lines.
Environmental and Compliance Ratings
Push-pull fastening type with no locking latch — the connector relies on friction retention from the shrouded 4-wall interface. Not rated for high-vibration applications without additional mechanical support (e.g., wire-tie or potting).
