8-Pin Shrouded Header with 0.100" Pitch and GXT Gold Contacts
Through-Hole Mount and Board-Layout Fit
The header mounts vertically through the PCB with solder termination. The mating contact length is 0.228" (5.80 mm), and the post length is 0.114" (2.90 mm) — dimensions that define the board standoff and the depth the header reaches into the mating receptacle. A keying slot and mounting flange on the housing provide orientation alignment and mechanical anchoring to the PCB — the flange takes shear load from the cable strain, protecting the solder joints.
Active Lifecycle and Sourcing
