The termination is listed as Press-Fit, Solder. In practice, this is a through-hole header with compliant press-fit pins that can also be wave-soldered. The press-fit feature allows a solderless assembly where the pin interference holds the header in the plated through-hole, reducing thermal stress on the board. For most builds, wave solder is still the standard — the press-fit option is there for designs that want to skip the solder step.
This header mates with the JST XA series crimp receptacle housing. The locking ramp on the header engages with the latch on the receptacle for a vibration-resistant connection.
