Board Fit and Routing
The 0010897162: The unshrouded design means the mating receptacle slides directly over the pins without a wall guide; board-edge clearance and pick-and-place nozzle access are simpler than with a shrouded header.
Contact Finish and Mating Life
The mating surface carries 15.0 µinch gold over nickel — a standard grade for moderate-cycle applications. In a field-service or test fixture where the connector is cycled a few hundred times over the product life, this finish resists oxidation and maintains stable contact resistance.
Housing Material and Environment
LCP glass-filled housing rated UL94 V-0 — the material holds its dimensional stability through wave solder and resists flame propagation in enclosed equipment.
