The SMT package places the header directly on the board surface without plated through-holes, which frees up routing channels on inner layers.
It is ROHS3 compliant. No official replacement or cross-reference has been announced, so the current order code is the one to specify for new builds.
The header has 6 positions in a single row, all positions loaded. The pinout is a straight 1-through-6 linear array on 0.100" centers. Mating with a standard C-Grid SL receptacle or IDC connector preserves the same circuit order.
Within the C-Grid SL 87898 series, the closest alternative is a through-hole version with the same 6-position, 0.100" pitch layout. The SMT version (0878980666) is the surface-mount variant; a through-hole sibling would share the same pin spacing and mating interface but require a different board assembly process.
