The friction lock on the header body provides a positive retention force against the mating housing — it resists vibration-induced disconnection better than a plain unshrouded header, though it is not a secondary latch. RoHS non-compliant per the ledger entry. Buyers restricted to RoHS materials should confirm exemption applicability or plan a substitute — the tin-plated contact finish is typical for this series, but the non-compliance may stem from the housing material or plating process. No stock-holding claim is made.","metaTitle":"22-05-7168 Molex 2.54mm Right-Angle Header, 16 Circuits","metaDescription":"Molex 22-05-7168 2.54mm KK header, 16 circuits, right-angle, friction lock, tin-plated.
