Board-Edge Cable Exit with Locking Ramp
Molex 205971-0083 is an 8-circuit, single-row header from the Micro-One 205971 series, pitched at 2.00mm.
SMT Solder Retention and Board-Level Reliability
This reduces the risk of lifted pads when the cable is tugged or during thermal cycling — a practical concern for connectors mounted near the board edge where strain is highest.
The tin-bismuth finish here is well-suited for one-time or infrequent mating in clean, dry environments.
If you need a drop-in alternative, the same Micro-One 205971 series offers other circuit counts and plating options; confirm the mating half and board footprint before substituting.
