Board Fit and SMT Placement
The 55508-016TRLF: This 16-position receptacle uses a 2.00mm pitch on a dual-row layout—the same 0.079" spacing on both row and column axes. That sets the board footprint: a 4×4 grid of SMT pads with a 2.30mm insulator height above the board surface. The pick-and-place feature means the part ships on Tape & Reel with a flat top surface for vacuum nozzle pickup—no manual handling needed in a high-volume line. That's enough for a few hundred cycles in a clean environment, but not for repeated field-service disconnect—the gold layer wears through faster than a 15µin or 30µin deposit.
