Pitch, Position Count, and the Board Footprint
The 87024-625LF: The 50 circuits demand careful fan-out on the PCB; the 0.050" row spacing leaves limited room for via escape between rows on a two-layer board.
Contact Material and Termination
The solder termination is surface-mount, compatible with reflow soldering profiles for the thermoplastic, glass-filled housing. An integral board guide aligns the connector during placement and reduces shear stress on the SMT solder joints during cable or board handling after assembly.
