The 78229-102HLF: Two positions in a single row, all loaded, means this header fills a 2-way signal or power connection on a 2.54 mm grid.
Termination Options: Press-Fit and Solder
Press-fit termination allows solderless assembly into plated through-holes, useful for backplane or high-reliability builds where rework is preferred over desoldering. The same pin can also be soldered — the dual termination gives the board assembler flexibility without changing the part number.

Peer Comparison: 69190-202HLF and 68002-102HLF
69190-202HLF shares the same 2-position, 2.54 mm pitch, unshrouded form factor but uses 15.0 µinch gold plating and a shorter overall contact length of 0.450" (11.43 mm) vs 0.538" (13.67 mm). 68002-102HLF matches the 30.0 µinch gold and 0.480" (12.19 mm) overall length but is solder-only termination — no press-fit option.
