No secondary latch or TPA is needed for moderate shock environments.
The 0.450" mating length ensures full engagement with the receptacle contact beam, which is critical for maintaining rated current and contact resistance over the connector's life.
Overall contact length of 0.750" means the header stands 0.500" above the board — a z-height that clears most low-profile enclosures.
Yes. The 3.96mm pitch, single-row layout, and friction lock are designed to mate with standard KK396 crimp receptacle housings (such as the 41671 series). The 0.450" mating pin length ensures full contact beam engagement.
Any KK396 single-row crimp receptacle housing with a 3.96mm pitch and friction lock ramp will mate. Common mating halves include Molex 41671 series housings with the corresponding crimp terminals (e.g., 2478 or 2578 series).
