It uses the industry-standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it a direct footprint match for a wide range of IDC sockets, ribbon cable connectors, and other standard 0.100" headers. This through-hole, solder-terminated male pin header is rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, with 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold plating on the mating surface for reliable contact over repeated insertion cycles.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the most important dimension for board layout — it matches the standard grid for perfboard, prototyping boards, and virtually all 0.100" pitch connectors. The 12 positions in a single row keep the board footprint narrow, which is useful for edge connectors or tight channel spacing. The 5 A per-circuit rating at 110 V is typical for signal-level interconnects and low-current power distribution; the 30 µ" gold finish on the mating contacts supports moderate mating cycles (typically 50–100 cycles) without the contact resistance drift you would see with tin plating in low-voltage or corrosive environments. The 0.100" (2.54 mm) insulation height and 0.230" (5.84 mm) mating pin length give a standard mated stack height when paired with a matching socket.
