Board Layout Fit: Pitch, Position Count, and Orientation
The 98464-G61-12LF: The 0.157" (4.00mm) mating pin length and 0.098" (2.50mm) solder tail length define the through-hole drill depth and the standoff from the board surface.
Contact Interface and Current Capacity
The post finish is 78.7µin tin — standard for solder-joint reliability through wave or hand-solder processes. Square male pins (0.64mm typical for 2.00mm pitch) provide a consistent contact interface with the mating receptacle's dual-beam or tuning-fork contacts.
Mating and Retention: Latch Holder and Keying Slot
This prevents the pair from vibrating apart in mobile or field-service equipment. The keying slot ensures the mating receptacle can only be inserted one way, eliminating mis-mating on the line or in the field.
