What the 0.100-inch Pitch and 26 Circuits Mean for the Board
The 66506-051LF: With 26 positions loaded across two rows (row spacing also 0.100 inch), the board footprint is a 2×13 grid that matches the common 26-position IDC receptacle.
Shrouded 4-Wall Protection and Keying Slot
The shrouded 4-wall design surrounds the male pins on all four sides. The keying slot in the shroud polarises the mate so the socket can only go on one way; a mis-keyed pair won't seat, which is the right failure mode compared to a reversed connection.
The part is RoHS compliant.
