It mates with matching C-Grid III receptacle housings or IDC sockets for board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. The 2.54mm pitch and 0.100-inch row spacing match standard 0.100-inch grid prototyping and production layouts. This is the header to reach for when vertical clearance is tight and the mating receptacle needs to run along the board surface.
157.5 µinch Tin Mating Finish and Dual-Row Layout
The mating contacts carry a 157.5 µinch (4.00 µm) tin finish over brass — a heavy deposition that resists fretting corrosion in high-vibration or high-humidity environments. Tin-on-tin mating is reliable for moderate cycle counts (50–200 mates) typical in automotive and industrial control panels. The 0.114-inch (2.90 mm) solder post length suits standard 1.6 mm thick PCBs with through-hole soldering.
