It uses a 0.80mm mating pitch — tight enough for compact portable gear but still hand-solderable under a scope.
Rated at 500mA per contact and 125VAC, this is a signal-level interconnect — think sensor lines, low-power data, or control signals in consumer and general-purpose gear.
The shielded shell with board guide is the feature that sets this apart from a plain unshielded header — it gives you a defined ground path and mechanical alignment during mating. On a board with noisy digital lines nearby, that shield can save a layout iteration.
