It uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and is designed for through-hole solder termination to a PCB, making it a standard board-to-board interconnect for parallel or perpendicular stacking.
The 0.100" pitch is the de facto standard for through-hole headers — it matches the legacy 0.1-inch grid and is compatible with a vast range of mating receptacles, IDC sockets, and prototyping boards. The 17-position count is the first thing to verify against your BOM; this is an odd count that is less common than 16 or 18, so confirm your circuit count before committing. Rated 5 A per contact with a 110 V working voltage, this header is suited for signal-level and moderate power distribution inside an enclosure — the tin-on-tin contact system is reliable for a limited number of mating cycles (typically under 50), so it is best for one-time assembly or infrequent field service.
This unshrouded header mates with any standard 0.100" pitch female socket or IDC receptacle that accepts a 0.025" square pin. The long 0.900" (22.86 mm) mating pin length gives flexibility for stacking height or wire-wrap posts, while the 0.225" (5.72 mm) solder tail is sized for standard 0.062" PCBs.
