Gold Mating Finish and Current Rating
The 95157-212LF: The mating contact surface carries 15.0 µinch (0.38 µm) gold over phosphor bronze — a plating grade that supports several hundred mating cycles without exposing the base metal. In a production environment where the board is mated and unmated during test and final assembly, this finish avoids the fretting corrosion that tin contacts would develop under repeated insertion.
Surface Mount Termination and Board Assembly
The SMT solder tails reflow alongside other surface-mount components — no secondary wave-solder pass needed.
