Board Layout and Pitch Fit
The 0026481090: This unshrouded header mates with KK396 crimp housings or IDC connectors of the same pitch. With 9 positions loaded in a single row, the overall footprint is about 35.6mm wide (9 × 3.96mm).
Contact Plating and Mating Duty
This is fine for low-vibration environments like benchtop equipment or control panels, but for automotive or industrial machinery with shock and vibration, a shrouded or locking header is recommended.
Series Compatibility and Alternatives
This header belongs to the KK396 series (also listed under 41661). The breakaway design means the same base product number (002648) can be ordered in other circuit counts by snapping to length.
