Rated at 5A per circuit, this header can handle moderate power distribution across its pins — think signal lines with some local power delivery, not a main bus bar. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating on the black insulation means this header can be used inside equipment enclosures without additional flame-retardant barriers — a standard requirement for commercial and industrial electronics.
With a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and 0.100-inch row spacing, the 86832-116HLF uses a standard 2x8 pin footprint that fits common prototyping grids. The overall contact length of 0.525 inches (13.34mm) includes a 0.325-inch mating interface and a 0.100-inch solder post, so the mated stack height will be determined by the mating receptacle's depth.
