14 Positions, 8 Loaded — Selective Population
The 95264-308HLF: The 14-position shell carries only 8 loaded contacts, a selective-population design that saves cost when the full pin count isn't needed. The unloaded positions remain as empty cavities, preserving the shell's keying and polarization. This is a board-to-board or cable receptacle with push-pull fastening, meaning it mates without a locking latch — suitable for low-vibration environments where accidental disconnection is unlikely.
0.100-inch Pitch, Dual-Row Footprint
The 0.118" (3.00mm) solder tail length is typical for 1.6mm-thick PCBs, providing adequate standoff for wave-solder fillet formation. Through-hole mounting gives the connector mechanical strength against cable strain — a practical choice when the mating half is a wire-to-board plug that sees handling during assembly or service.
Gold-Plated Mating Interface
The post finish is tin, which solders cleanly and is compatible with both leaded and lead-free wave-solder processes.
No single-vendor lock — the Dubox family crosses to other 2.54mm-pitch socket headers from the same footprint family.
Peer Comparison: 95264-301LF vs 93696-334LF
The closest functional sibling is 95264-301LF: same 2.54mm pitch, dual-row, through-hole, gold-plated contacts, but with 20 positions (16 loaded) and a blue insulation color. If your BOM needs more circuits, that part fits the same footprint family. For high-density applications, 93696-334LF offers 68 positions (all loaded) with 30.0 µinch gold mating finish and a board guide feature — but the 0.118" post length is identical, so the same PCB thickness applies.
