The 98423-F61-22ULF: This unshrouded male header carries 44 circuits on a 2.00mm pitch, dual-row arrangement with 0.079" row spacing. The board footprint occupies about 1.73" (44 mm) across the pin field, which sets the routing channel width for the breakout traces. The mating pin length of 0.157" (4.00 mm) and post length of 0.098" (2.50 mm) define the board standoff and solder-joint geometry for the 44 solder tails.
Active production — no lifecycle concern for new BOMs
For a BOM line committed to the Minitek 2.00mm series, this part continues as a direct orderable option. Sourced per RFQ against the line-item quantity.
Mating half and push-pull latching
This is the male header side of a board-to-board pair. It mates with the corresponding Minitek 2.00mm receptacle (female socket housing) from the same series. In a vibration environment, the unshrouded design and push-pull interface require the mated pair to be secured by the board mounting or an external clamp.
Gold flash vs tin — plating strategy
The thicker tin tails suit the soldering process and provide good wetting into the through-hole.
