On a harness with multiple similar connectors in the same panel, that slot saves a mis-wire rework. ## Gold Flash Mating — When It Works, When It Doesn't Gold flash handles a few dozen to a few hundred mating cycles before the underlying nickel or copper starts to show. For a production harness that mates once and stays mated, that is fine. For a field-service connector that gets disconnected quarterly, spec the thicker gold option in the Minitek range. Tin wets well with standard SAC305 solder profiles and gives a reliable fillet on the SMD pad. ## Sourcing and Lifecycle — Still in the Catalog UL94 V-0 rated thermoplastic housing — the material self-extinguishes within the standard flame test window.","metaTitle":"98424-F52-18ALF Amphenol ICC Minitek 2.00mm Header SMD 18","metaDescription":"Amphenol ICC (FCI) Minitek® 2.00mm header, 18 positions, 2 rows, SMD, shrouded, gold flash mating, latch holder.
