It mates with a crimp-style receptacle housing (board-to-cable/wire), not another PCB — so the BOM needs the matching female housing and terminals. The shrouded 4-wall design and locking ramp are the retention story here. The ramp catches the receptacle latch and holds it against vibration and cable tug — a half-turn loose is a dropout, but this is a positive lock, not a threaded coupling, so you get an audible click when it seats. Tin is a cost-effective finish for applications with infrequent mating cycles — it works well in a one-time assembly or occasional field service, but for repeated connect/disconnect duty (over 50 cycles), gold would be the better choice. There is no IP rating on this header — it is not sealed; if the application sees moisture or spray, the mating receptacle needs a wire seal and the system must be specified as a sealed pair. ## Active production — stable BOM line, no LTB watch","metaTitle":"Molex 2159310270 Mini-Lock 2.5 Header – 2 Pos, SMT","metaDescription":"Molex 2159310270 Mini-Lock 2.5 wire-to-board header, 2 positions, 0.098\" pitch, SMT, shrouded, locking ramp.
