The 68002-226HLF: The 0.100" pitch sets the board footprint – each pin occupies a 0.100"-spaced through-hole. The unshrouded design allows the header to sit flush on the board, useful for low-profile stacking or when the receptacle has its own shroud.
Position Count Comparison – 68002 Series
Within the 68002 base series, this 26-position header (68002-226HLF) is the highest circuit count available. The 5-position sibling (68002-205HLF) shares the same pitch, plating, and current rating but at 5 circuits – a different BOM line entirely. For a shorter overall pin length, the 68001 series (e.g., 68001-220HLF, 20 positions) uses a 0.450" (11.43 mm) total length versus 0.480" here – a consideration if board-to-board stack height is tight.
