The 5 A per circuit rating is typical for this class of pin header, and the tin-on-tin contact finish means this is a low-cycle-count interconnect — suited for permanent or infrequent-mate applications where the 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) tin plating on the mating side provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor use.
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the key footprint dimension — it matches standard 0.100" grid prototyping boards and legacy DIP sockets. The 62 positions are loaded in two rows of 31, so the board footprint needs 62 plated through-holes on 0.100" centers with 0.100" row spacing. The 0.120" (3.05mm) solder tail length is short — it will sit flush on a standard 0.062" board but may not protrude enough for thick boards or hand-solder inspection.
The UL94 V-0 black insulation handles the 110 V rating with adequate creepage for the 2.54 mm pitch.
