The Molex 87916-115HLF is a 15-position unshrouded pin header from the BERGSTIK II series, on the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch that matches the classic IC footprint grid. It's a single-row, through-hole, solder-terminated male header with a push-pull mating interface — no latches, no shrouding, just the pins. This is the basic building-block header for board-to-board or wire-to-board interconnect where you need a clean, unkeyed pin strip.
What the 5 A rating means in practice
The 0.100" pitch is the standard 2.54 mm grid — your PCB footprint is a straight row of 15 plated through holes at that spacing. The contact length on the mating side is 0.830" (21.08 mm), and the post length below the board is 0.128" (3.25 mm). Overall contact length hits 1.058" (26.87 mm). That post length is short — meant for a single-sided board or a thin PCB where the solder tail doesn't need to reach far. No board locks, so the header relies on the solder joints for mechanical retention — fine for a permanent install, but not for high-vibration or frequent unmating without support.
