0.100" Pitch, 12 Positions, Tin-on-Tin — BOM Fit First
The 54202-T0806ALF: Twelve positions loaded all the way means every circuit is wired; no blank spots to track. The mating interface is tin on tin, 100 µinch on both the contact finish and the post. This is a cost-optimised signal path for moderate cycle life — think one-time board assembly, not repeated field disconnect. For higher mating-cycle duty, the gold-plated siblings in the same series (54202-S0804CLF or 54202-G0807LF) are the better call.
SMD Unshrouded — Board-Layout Fit and Pick-and-Place Ready
Surface-mount termination with a pick-and-place feature means this header is designed for automated assembly — the flat top gives the vacuum nozzle a clean grab.
