It uses a 1.25 mm pitch, which is a common spacing for compact wire-to-board interconnects in automotive and industrial control modules. The header is shrouded on all four walls, which protects the male pins during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment — a practical feature for field assembly where misalignment can bend pins. ## 7.4 mm stack height and surface-mount termination Mated stack height is 7.4 mm, measured from the PCB surface to the top of the mated receptacle. This fixed height suits enclosures with a tight z-axis budget, such as automotive ECU lids or industrial sensor housings. Termination is surface-mount solder, with pick-and-place and solder-retention features included. The insulation height of 4.20 mm leaves clearance for trace routing under the connector body on the top layer. ## Active production, ROHS3 compliant, sourced to order Pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time against the BOM quantity.
