48-Position Dual-Row Breakaway Header for Board-to-Board and Cable Interconnects
It carries a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch on both the mating and row spacing, matching the standard 0.100" grid for prototyping and production layouts. The 5 A per-contact figure is the current limit before the temperature rise reaches the ceiling of the UL94 V-0 thermoplastic housing. Contact plating is split: the mating surface carries 30.0 µ" (0.76 µm) of gold GXT, while the post is tin-plated at 39.4 µ" (1.00 µm). The tin-plated post is compatible with both solder and press-fit termination into standard plated through-holes.
Termination and Mounting: Press-Fit and Solder Flexibility
The press-fit option allows solderless assembly into plated through-holes — useful for backplane applications where rework or field replacement is expected. The solder option provides a conventional wave-solder joint for standard PCB assembly. The contact length — 0.224" (5.70 mm) mating, 0.177" (4.50 mm) post, 0.505" (12.83 mm) overall — fits standard 0.062" to 0.093" board thicknesses with room for the solder fillet.
