Where This Header Fits in the SL 70555 Family
The 0705550045 sits in the SL 70555 series as a right-angle, through-hole header with 11 positions. Compared to a straight version in the same series, the right-angle orientation changes the cable exit direction — useful when routing wires along the board edge rather than perpendicular to it. The gold mating finish distinguishes it from tin-plated variants in the same series, which are rated for fewer mating cycles and are better suited for one-time or infrequent connections. For a field-service or automotive application, gold is the right call.
This header mates with Molex SL series crimp receptacle housings that accept 22-28 AWG wire. Termination is solder — the 0.130" (3.30mm) post length is suitable for standard through-hole soldering processes. The tin-plated post (74.8µin/1.90µm) provides a reliable solder joint.
