The Molex 0009484098 is a 9-circuit single-row receptacle from the KK396 series (also grouped under 41815), designed for board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnects.
The 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch sets the board footprint — it's wider than the 2.54mm KK series, giving more room for routing and higher creepage for the 600V rating. The locking ramp is the main mechanical retention — it clicks into the mating header's ramp and resists vibration better than a friction-only fit. Board hooks on the sides add extra shear resistance during wave solder and against cable strain.
This receptacle mates with standard KK396 pin headers (0.156" pitch, square 0.045" pins).
