It carries 16 positions loaded across two rows at the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, with an identical 0.100" row spacing — a footprint that matches legacy 0.100" grid prototyping and production layouts. Rated 5 A per contact at 110 V, with a full tin-plated mating surface at 100.0 µ" (2.54 µm) thickness over phosphor bronze, this header is built for moderate-cycle, cost-sensitive applications where gold plating is not justified.
What the 5 A rating means for your board
5 A per contact is a solid signal-level current — it handles logic-level power, I/O lines, and low-current sensor feeds without issue. The limiting factor is not the contact itself but the temperature rise in the unshrouded housing when all 16 circuits are loaded simultaneously. For a dense board with all pins carrying near-rated current, derating to 3-4 A per contact is prudent to stay within the UL94 V-0 housing's thermal limits.
Termination is through-hole solder, with a 0.107" (2.71 mm) post length suited for standard 0.062" to 0.093" PCBs.
