The through-hole solder termination gives a solid mechanical anchor; the 0.172" (4.37mm) post length is long enough for a standard 1.6mm board with a solder fillet visible on the bottom side. The post side is 100.0µin tin, which solders reliably with standard lead-free profiles. Contact material is brass, square pin shape, which mates with standard KK396 crimp receptacles.
Mating Half and Application Fit
This header mates with Molex KK396 crimp receptacle housings (series 41661) using standard 0.156" pitch female terminals. Typical applications include automotive body electronics, industrial control panels, medical equipment, and telecom infrastructure — the unshrouded design keeps the board profile low at 0.128" (3.25mm) insulation height, which helps in tight enclosures.
