Board Layout Fit for the 14-Pin SMT Header
The 95157-114LF: That pitch matches standard 0.100" grid prototyping and production boards, and the dual-row layout gives you 14 circuits in a 2×7 arrangement — the footprint is compact enough for dense board designs while keeping enough pin-to-pin spacing for easy routing. Surface-mount termination means the header sits on the PCB without through-holes — the solder tails reflow onto surface pads, so there's no back-side clearance needed behind the board. This is a clean fit for double-sided assemblies where the opposite side carries components or a ground plane.
What the Gold Plating and 3 A Rating Mean in Practice
The 3 A per-contact rating is conservative for the phosphor bronze spring material; at 3 A the temperature rise stays well within the UL94 V-0 housing's thermal limits. Compare with the sibling 95157-440LF: same pitch, same current, same dual-row SMT footprint, but with a tin mating finish (100.0 µin) instead of gold. Tin is fine for a one-time mate or low-cycle use, but if your application sees repeated connect/disconnect, the gold on 95157-114LF is the correct choice — tin frets under vibration and builds oxide after many cycles.
