Board-fit and routing: 2.00 mm pitch, 16 positions, SMT
The 98424-F52-16ULF: The 4-wall shrouding and latch holder distinguish this from an unshrouded pin strip. The gold flash on the mating face (contact finish thickness listed as Flash) gives adequate corrosion resistance for occasional mating in a controlled environment; if the application cycles the connector more than a few dozen times, consider a thicker gold option in the Minitek family.
Sourcing and lifecycle: active production, no obsolescence concern
Sourced through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing confirmed at RFQ against your BOM quantity — no stock-holding claim, quoted to order.
The Minitek 2.00 mm SMT shrouded header family covers 4 to 18 positions in the same dual-row, latch-holder format. If the BOM needs more or fewer circuits, the family cross-covers cleanly without a board layout change beyond the length.
