Board-Mount Reality for a 14-Position Header
The 69168-114HLF: The 0.120" (3.05mm) solder tail length suits a typical 1.6mm PCB; the 0.230" (5.84mm) mating pin length engages with the receptacle contact beam.
At this thickness the contact interface supports repeated mating — in a field-service harness that gets cycled quarterly, the plating budget easily exceeds a decade of service before fretting or oxidation becomes a risk.
