The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing match the standard 0.100" grid, so the footprint drops onto a 16-pin DIP pattern without layout adjustments. Tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts carry 5A per circuit, with a 100.0µin (2.54µm) tin mating surface — thick enough for moderate cycle life in low-vibration, indoor equipment where gold is not required.
The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is the industry-standard 0.100" grid — the same spacing used by legacy DIP packages and 0.100" IDC ribbon cable connectors. At 5A per circuit across all 16 positions, total current through the header is 80A, but the real-world limit depends on how many adjacent circuits carry current simultaneously — derate when populating every pin at full load. The push-pull fastening type is simply the friction of the pin-to-receptacle interface; no locking latch holds the pair together.
The through-hole solder termination with 0.100" (2.54mm) post length suits standard 0.062" PCBs; the overall contact length of 0.525" (13.34mm) provides 0.325" (8.26mm) of mating pin exposure for the receptacle to grip.
