42-Position, 2.00 mm Pitch — Board Layout Fit
The 98424-F52-42LF: The 0.244-inch (6.20 mm) insulation height sets the z-height budget above the board; the 0.157-inch (4.00 mm) mating pin length engages with the receptacle contact beam.
2 A per Circuit — Signal-Duty Current Ceiling
The tin-plated solder tails (2.00 µm post thickness) are compatible with standard SAC305 reflow profiles — no special surface finish required on the PCB pad.
Supplied in bulk packaging. The base product number is 98424; the -F52-42LF suffix specifies the gold flash plating, 42 positions, and SMT termination.
This header mates with a Minitek 2.00 mm receptacle housing (female, crimp or IDC termination) — confirm the receptacle's position count and keying match the 42-position, keyed shroud. No through-hole vias are needed, which frees routing space on inner layers.
