The 0.156" pitch sets the board footprint — the 0.573" mating pin length gives clearance for a thick backplane or wire-to-board receptacle with a deep pocket. The 0.128" insulation height leaves room for a receptacle housing to seat over the pins without obstructing adjacent components.
Tin on the post matches standard wave-solder wetting. The square pin profile mates with standard KK396 crimp receptacles.
Mates with Molex KK396 series crimp receptacle housings (e.g., 41662 series) using standard 3.96 mm pitch crimp terminals. Push-pull retention — no locking latch, so the joint relies on the receptacle's friction or an external lock when vibration is present. The 10-position single-row layout matches a 10-way receptacle housing.
