The friction lock secures the mating receptacle against casual vibration; it is not a secondary lock for high-shock environments.
Board Layout and Termination — Through-Hole, Single Row
Through-hole solder termination with 0.140" (3.56mm) post length — suits standard 1.6mm PCB thickness with through-hole wave solder. Overall contact length is 0.720" (18.29mm); the mating pin length of 0.450" (11.43mm) engages the receptacle contact fully. The board guide feature assists alignment during assembly, reducing shear stress on the pins.
