The 250VAC voltage rating covers standard mains and low-voltage lighting circuits. The header mates with CST-100 receptacle housings (e.g., 3-644895-x series) using standard 22-26 AWG crimp terminals. The 0.130\" (3.30mm) post length is designed for through-hole soldering on 1.6mm thick PCBs — the post protrudes enough for a reliable solder fillet without excessive lead trimming. The 0.280\" (7.11mm) mating pin length provides sufficient wipe for a clean contact interface. Termination is solder — wave or hand-solder. No press-fit option. The right-angle body keeps the mating face perpendicular to the board edge, so plan the board layout with clearance for the receptacle and cable exit.","metaTitle":"3-644894-5 TE Connectivity CST-100 Header R/A 5POS 2.54mm","metaDescription":"3-644894-5 TE CST-100 header, 5-position, right-angle, 2.54mm pitch, friction lock, UL94 V-0.
