Board Footprint and Routing Fit
The 54201-S0803ALF: The unshrouded design exposes the square pins, so board layout must account for the 0.230" (5.84 mm) mating pin length when planning clearance to adjacent components. Surface-mount termination with a Pick and Place vacuum area means this part is ready for automated assembly lines — the flat top surface gives the nozzle a reliable pick point, reducing placement errors in high-volume runs.
The closest functional alternative is the bulk-packaged 54201-S0803LF, identical in pitch, positions, and plating but without the Pick and Place feature — a cost trade-off for manual or low-volume assembly.
