All 96 positions are loaded with male pins, and the connector uses press-fit termination — meaning it installs into plated through-holes without solder, which is the standard for high-reliability backplane assemblies where rework and field replacement matter. The housing is natural in color and carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, required for equipment inside an enclosure in telecom, datacom, and industrial rack systems. ## Press-Fit Termination and Contact Plating Press-fit termination avoids the thermal stress and flux residue of wave soldering, making this header suited for dense backplane PCBs with many layers. The gold contact finish on the mating interface supports repeated mating cycles — typical for line cards that get swapped during service life. The operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C covers industrial cabinet and outdoor telecom environments where the connector sees thermal cycling. ## Voltage Rating and Compliance Rated at 50V, this is a signal-level backplane connector — not for power distribution. The UL94 V-0 housing and ROHS3 compliance mean it passes regulatory requirements for equipment sold into EU and North American markets.","metaTitle":"TE 2042088-1 Z-PACK Slim UHD Header, 96 Pos, Press-Fit","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity 2042088-1 Z-PACK Slim UHD header, 96 positions, 8 rows, press-fit termination, gold contacts, UL94 V-0, -55 to 105°C.
