Board Layout Fit: 2.00 mm Pitch, Right-Angle, Shrouded
The 98417-G61-08LF: At 2.00 mm pitch, this 8-position, 2-row header occupies a compact board footprint — the row spacing is also 2.00 mm, so the pin grid is a clean 0.079" square matrix. The latch holder adds vibration resistance beyond a simple push-pull fit, which matters in equipment that sees shock or continuous movement.
Termination is solder only — through-hole, right-angle.
Peer Comparison: 8 vs 14 Positions, Shrouded vs 2-Wall
For a BOM that needs more I/O on the same footprint grid, that sibling is a direct drop-in for the same mating receptacle series. The 90309-108LF is an 8-position, 2.00 mm pitch header but with 2-wall shrouding and push-pull fastening instead of a latch holder. If the application doesn't need the vibration-lock feature, that part saves cost; if it does, the 98417-G61-08LF's latch holder is the correct choice.
