It terminates in-line (free-hanging), so it lands as a wire-to-board or wire-to-wire interconnect in small-signal assemblies like sensor harnesses, fan connectors, or control I/O inside consumer and industrial equipment.
Termination and Wire Prep
The 28 AWG wire gauge is fixed; the slot geometry is cut for that diameter, so a different gauge won't seat properly. The tin-plated female socket contacts are the mating interface — tin is adequate for the limited mating cycles typical of internal harnesses, not for repeated field disconnect.
What Mates With It
The header is the board-mount half; the receptacle lands on the wire.
