Rated at 5 A per contact and 110 V, the 30.0 µin (0.76 µm) gold plating on the mating surface provides corrosion resistance and supports repeated mating cycles — a step above the tin-plated options in the same series. The UL94 V-0 black glass-filled polyester housing handles the flammability requirements of equipment inside an enclosure.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 0.100" row spacing define a standard 0.100" x 0.100" grid footprint. Overall contact length is 0.990" (25.15 mm), so the header stands tall on the board — confirm the enclosure z-height budget before layout. Being unshrouded, the pins are exposed after soldering. The mating receptacle must provide polarization and strain relief; the header itself offers no keying or latch. Push-pull fastening means the connection relies on friction from the receptacle contacts.
