What this 6-position SMD header does in a board assembly
It mates with a PH-series crimp receptacle to make a board-to-cable/wire connection.
The SMD tails are tin-plated for solderability; the mating contact finish is also tin, which suits moderate mating-cycle applications (20–30 cycles typical for tin-on-tin). The 0.130 in (3.30 mm) mating pin length engages fully with the PH receptacle contact, and the 0.260 in (6.60 mm) insulation height leaves clearance for the cable exit angle.
