Board-to-Board Fit: 12 Circuits at 2.50 mm Pitch
The 12JQ-BT: The friction lock holds the mating header in place against light vibration and cable tug, but it is not a secondary lock — for high-vibration environments, consider a connector with a positive latch.
Termination and Mounting: Press-Fit and Solder
The 12JQ-BT terminates via press-fit or solder through a through-hole PCB. The press-fit option allows solderless assembly for high-reliability backplanes, while the solder tail provides a conventional wave-solder joint.
