Surface Mount Termination and Board Retention
The 98401-101A20LF: Termination is surface mount solder, with tin-plated posts (78.7µin thickness) that wet well during reflow and provide a reliable solder joint. The header includes a board guide and pick-and-place feature, aiding automated assembly alignment and vacuum pickup during SMT placement. The unshrouded design keeps the profile low — insulation height is 0.084" (2.14mm) — and allows the mating receptacle to sit close to the board surface, saving z-height budget in stacked assemblies.
Operating temperature range spans -65°C to 130°C, covering most industrial and commercial environments without derating concerns at the 3A current level.
