10-Position Single-Row Dubox™ Receptacle — Board-to-Board Signal Interconnect
The push-pull fastening type and bottom or top entry configuration give flexibility in board stacking orientation — the receptacle can accept a mating header from either side of the PCB, simplifying layout in space-constrained enclosures.
Where This Connector Fits — Applications and Environment
The blue insulation color aids visual identification during assembly and inspection. The single-row, 10-position format is a compact signal interconnect for board edges where dual-row headers would overhang the PCB profile. Typical uses include control boards, I/O modules, and telecom line cards where the 2.54mm pitch matches standard prototyping grids and legacy bus architectures.

How It Compares to Dual-Row Dubox™ Siblings
The closest functional alternative within the Dubox™ series is the 89847-306LF — a 12-position, dual-row receptacle with the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, gold mating contacts, and through-hole termination. The key difference: 10 positions single-row vs 12 positions dual-row. The dual-row version occupies a wider board footprint but offers more signal density in the same board edge length. For applications where 10 circuits are sufficient, the 89885-310LF avoids the extra PCB real estate of a dual-row layout. Another sibling, the 89883-308LF, is a 16-position dual-row right-angle receptacle — useful when the mating header enters parallel to the board rather than perpendicular. The 89885-310LF's straight through-hole orientation is simpler for vertical stacking; the right-angle version suits mezzanine connections where the board-to-board axis is horizontal.
