Rated at 5 A per contact with a 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) gold mating finish on phosphor bronze contacts, this header is built for repeated mating cycles and reliable signal-level connections. The UL94 V-0 black housing and push-pull fastening keep it simple — no latches, no shrouding, just a straight pin field for when you need a direct, low-profile board-to-board or wire-to-board junction.
The 26 positions, all loaded, mean you get the full circuit count on a dual-row footprint; the right-angle orientation places the pin tips 0.230" (5.84 mm) below the board surface after soldering, which matters for enclosure clearance on the solder side. Tin-plated contacts at this pitch are fine for a few mates, but the gold here supports hundreds of insertion cycles without oxidation or fretting corrosion — important if this header sees field service or multiple board swaps.
This unshrouded header mates with any standard 0.100" pitch dual-row receptacle — think BERGSTIK II socket strips or a wide range of IDC and crimp housings from FCI, Samtec, and 3M that share the same 2.54 mm grid. No keying or polarization, so orientation is set by the board layout.
