All 70 positions are loaded with square male pins in phosphor bronze, with a 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold or Gold GXT™ finish on the mating surface — a plating thickness that supports hundreds of mating cycles without contact resistance drift.
This keeps the header's footprint small and gives the board designer maximum routing access around the pin field, but it also means the connector relies entirely on the mating housing for keying and strain relief.
Termination and board mounting
The overall contact length is 0.530" (13.46mm), with a 0.320" (8.13mm) mating pin length that gives good wipe depth in a standard box receptacle.
The part ships in bag packaging, which is typical for through-hole headers at this volume level — not reel-fed, so plan for tube or tray handling on the insertion line.
