It uses a standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the same spacing as legacy breadboard and prototyping grids — so board layout is a straight drop-in for any through-hole design. Rated 5A per contact with 15.0µin gold plating on the mating surface, it handles signal-level power or GPIO duty on a PCB edge. The unshrouded design means the male pins are exposed; it mates with standard female socket housings but offers no polarization or keying, so confirm the mating half orientation before the board goes to fab.
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the key dimension — it sets the board footprint and determines what female socket it accepts. The 16 positions in a single row match many parallel I/O or signal harness BOM lines; the single-row format saves board space compared to a dual-row header of the same count.
