The latch holder secures the mating connector against vibration — a real advantage in automotive and industrial enclosures where a loose connection means a service call.
At 3.96mm pitch, this header gives you more room per circuit than a 2.54mm header — useful when routing wider traces or higher-current paths on the PCB. The 6 positions are all loaded, so no empty spots to confuse a harness builder. The through-hole termination with a 0.138" (3.50mm) post length suits standard 1.6mm-thick PCBs.
The latch holder adds vibration resistance. Confirm the mating receptacle and wire gauge match your harness spec.
