Right-Angle Shrouded Header for Dense Board-to-Board or Cable Interconnects
Position Count and Sibling Comparison for BOM Fit
The 20-position version is a common middle-ground count for I/O and control harnesses where 14 positions are too few and 24 are more than needed. All three siblings carry identical electrical ratings (2 A, 200 V), same shrouding, same UL94 V-0 housing material, and same active lifecycle status. The choice between them is purely a function of the number of signal circuits required on the BOM — no derating or footprint change beyond the pin count.
It is RoHS compliant and available for order through independent distribution channels. For buyers cross-referencing a BOM line, the base product number 98464 covers the entire Minitek 2.00mm right-angle shrouded header family. The suffix -F61-20ULF specifies the 20-position, gold flash, cream insulation variant. No direct second-source is listed, but the sibling 24-position (98464-F61-24ULF) is the closest functional alternative if the circuit count can be adjusted.
This header mates with Minitek 2.00mm receptacles (female socket housings) that accept the corresponding crimp terminals. The keying slot (feature: keying slot) ensures polarized mating — a mis-mated pair is physically blocked. The square male pins (contact shape: square) are 0.157" (4.00 mm) mating length and 0.098" (2.50 mm) post length — suitable for standard PCB thicknesses in the 1.6 mm range.
