16 Circuits at 3.96 mm Pitch — Single-Row Breakaway Header
The 0026481166: The breakaway design lets you snap the pin strip to a shorter length if your BOM calls for fewer circuits — useful when you need a non-standard count on a standard footprint. The friction lock on the shroud holds the mating receptacle in place under moderate vibration — no secondary latch needed for most industrial and automotive interior applications. The square male pins accept standard KK396 crimp receptacles.
Through-Hole Solder Termination — Right-Angle Board Layout
The right-angle orientation means the header body sits flush against the board edge, with the pins extending perpendicular to the PCB plane — plan for a keep-out zone on the solder side equal to the tail length plus solder fillet clearance. Insulation height is 0.355" (9.02 mm) — this is the z-height the header stands off the board, so check clearance to any component or cover above it.
The base product number is 002648, which covers the full family of KK396 breakaway headers. The 0026481166 suffix specifies the 16-circuit, single-row, right-angle, tin-plated variant with friction lock.
