Board Layout Fit: 3.96mm Pitch, 4 Circuits, Through-Hole
The 0026482043: The housing is a single-wall shroud (shrouded - 1 wall), which provides some keying protection but leaves the top of the contacts exposed — not a fully enclosed header.
Contact Interface: Gold on Mating, Tin on Post
The mating contact finish is 20.0 µinch gold over brass, while the solder post is finished with 100.0 µinch tin. The tin on the post is standard for soldering into a plated through-hole. The contact shape is square (male pin), typical for KK396 headers, and mates with standard KK396 crimp receptacle housings.
Application Range and Series Context
The KK396 series is a 3.96mm pitch wire-to-board system used across automotive, general-purpose industrial, medical, and telecommunications equipment. This particular header is a breakaway style — the 4-position piece is a fixed length, not a snap-to-length strip. The base product number is 002648, which covers the full family of single-row KK396 headers.
