It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch on both rows and between rows, so the footprint lands on a 0.100" grid — no special routing. The 30.0 µin gold plating on the mating surface handles repeated mating cycles without fretting, while the 0.820" (20.83 mm) mating length gives enough reach to connect through a mid-plane or a tall receptacle.
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch is the standard breadboarding grid — it matches legacy perfboard layouts and common IDC ribbon cable receptacles. 5 A per circuit is enough for on-board power distribution or signal-level current; the limiting factor is the pin density at the board edge, not the contact itself.
