0.156" Pitch, 8 Circuits, Right-Angle Routing
The 0026615080: This is a single-row male header from the Molex KK396 series, 8 positions loaded, on 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch. The single-wall shroud (Shrouded - 1 Wall) protects the pins from one side and guides the KK396 receptacle into alignment during mating. It is not a fully enclosed header — the other three sides of the pin field are exposed, so the connector relies on the friction lock for retention, not a full shell.
KK396 Series Fit and Friction Lock
The 0.450" (11.43mm) mating pin length ensures full contact wipe inside the receptacle terminal before the lock snaps. The 0.156" (3.96mm) post length leaves enough solder tail for a solid through-hole joint on a standard 1.6mm PCB. Rated for board-to-board or cable-to-board applications (Style: Board to Board or Cable). In practice, it is most often used as a wire-to-board header with the KK396 crimp terminal and receptacle housing — the friction lock is designed for that cable-entry direction.
ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated polyester housing. The glass-filled material handles the reflow and wave-solder thermal profiles without distortion.
