30-Position SMT Header for Board-to-Board Stacking
Surface-mount termination means the header reflows alongside other SMT components, saving a wave-solder pass.
Gold GXT™ Plating for Repeated Mating
The mating surface carries 30.0 µinch (0.76 µm) gold over nickel, designated GXT™ — a hard gold alloy rated for 500 mating cycles minimum. In a test fixture or modular instrument where boards are swapped weekly, that is decades of reliable contact without fretting corrosion. The solder tails are tin-plated (78.7 µinch / 2.00 µm), which wets well during reflow and is compatible with standard SAC305 solder paste.
Unshrouded Design and Mating Requirements
This header is unshrouded — no plastic wall surrounds the pins.
The base product number 57202 covers the Minitek® 2.00mm dual-row header family. Available in bulk packaging.
