10-Position Right-Angle Breakaway Header, 0.100" Pitch
For a connector that might see field-service reconnects or be stored unmated in a humid environment, gold prevents oxide buildup that tin contacts would accumulate over time.
Breakaway Construction and Board Fit
The breakaway design means this header ships as a longer strip; the 10-position piece is snapped to length at the factory. If your BOM calls for an odd number of circuits, a longer breakaway header can be cut down—verify the score lines align with your required position count. The post length of 0.120" (3.05 mm) suits common 1.6 mm thick PCBs—the solder joint wicks up the post without bridging to adjacent pads. Housing material is glass-filled nylon (PA), rated UL94 V-0.
Active Sourcing and Compliance
The part is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current EU restriction requirements.
This header mates with Molex KK254 crimp receptacle housings (series 6471, 2695, or 5045) using 0.100" pitch female terminals. Within the KK254 family, this part is a single-row, 10-position variant. The same series offers 2- to 30-position options; the breakaway style allows a single stock-keeping unit to cover multiple circuit counts, but the 10-position loaded version is what ships under this order code.
