It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — the same spacing as legacy DIP packages — so it drops into a common PCB layout without a custom footprint. The gold GXT™ plating on the mating surface, at 30.0µin (0.76µm), gives it a high mating-cycle life, making it a solid choice for field-service or repeated disconnect applications where tin contacts would fret.
Plating and Contact Construction
The 30.0µin gold GXT™ on the mating side is the real story here — that thickness is well above the 15 µin threshold for corrosive or high-cycle environments.
Mechanical Fit and Board Layout
The 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing matches the standard 0.300" (7.62mm) dual-row footprint, so it fits the same drill pattern as a 6-position DIP socket. The 0.260" (6.60mm) mating pin length gives enough engagement depth for standard box headers or IDC receptacles. The 0.165" (4.19mm) solder post length is typical for a 0.062" (1.6mm) PCB — it will protrude enough for a good fillet without bottoming out in a through-hole.
