Press-Fit Termination and Through-Hole Mounting
The 69190-202HLF: Termination is listed as press-fit and solder — the press-fit compliant pin allows solderless assembly into plated through-holes, which is common in backplane and high-reliability builds where rework is a consideration. Mounting is through-hole, vertical orientation.
Comparing the 69190-202HLF with Tin-Plated and Dual-Row Siblings
The closest functional alternative is the 69190-402, which shares the same 2-position, single-row, unshrouded, press-fit/solder termination — but swaps the gold/GXT™ mating finish for tin (100 µinch). Tin is adequate for fewer mating cycles and benign environments; gold is preferred for repeated mating or corrosive atmospheres. The pitch and gold finish are identical, but the dual-row footprint changes the board layout and the kinked pin provides additional retention during wave soldering. The 69190-403 is a 3-position single-row variant with tin plating — if the BOM calls for 3 positions, that part is a direct pitch-and-footprint match, but the plating grade and position count differ.
