0.80mm pitch, 10 circuits — the signal-density trade-off
The detent lock provides a positive tactile snap during mating, holding the connector pair against vibration and incidental cable pull without a secondary latch.
Tin-plated forked contacts — signal duty, not power
The forked contact design provides a compliant beam that wipes the mating pin on insertion, clearing surface oxides common in tin-to-tin interfaces. The current ceiling is set by the narrow pitch and tin plating, which together limit the temperature rise budget.
SMT with solder retention — board-assembly reliability
The LCP housing (UL94 V-0) withstands lead-free reflow temperatures without warping, and the black insulation colour provides visual contrast for automated optical inspection.
