It uses the industry-standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it a drop-in fit for any board laid out for a legacy 0.100" header footprint. Rated 5 A per circuit at 110 V, with 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) gold or gold GXT plating on the mating surface — a heavy plating grade that supports repeated mating cycles without contact fretting.
What the 30 µ" Gold Plating Means for Your Application
If your board-to-board interconnect sees frequent reconnection — test fixtures, modular cards, or field-swappable assemblies — this plating grade is the right choice. For a one-time solder-and-forget install, a tin-plated sibling would work, but the gold gives you margin on mating cycle life.
