16-Position, 3.00 mm Pitch Header with Press-Fit Termination
The 0444321601: Termination is press-fit, not solder — the compliant pin deforms into the plated through-hole, creating a gas-tight joint without reflow. This makes it suited for backplane or high-reliability assemblies where thermal stress from soldering is undesirable.
Board-to-Board or Cable Duty with Tin Contacts
Rated for board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnect — the header accepts standard Micro-Fit 3.0 female housings (crimp terminals) or can mate directly with another header in a board-to-board stack. Application categories include general-purpose, medical, military, and telecommunications — the press-fit termination and shrouded design support these sectors' demands for reliable, solderless interconnects in vibration-prone or high-density environments.
It is RoHS3 compliant.
