It uses a 2.00mm pitch, which sets the pad layout and routing density on the PCB — tight enough for compact designs but wide enough for easy hand-soldering and inspection. The housing is fully shrouded — four walls around the pins — which protects the contacts during mating and prevents bent pins if the cable connector is angled on insertion. The latch lock on top gives a positive snap when mated, so the pair stays together under vibration without relying on the friction fit alone.
Tin-bismuth is a lead-free alternative to straight tin; it mates with the corresponding tin-plated receptacle contacts without galvanic concern. Termination is solder to a surface-mount pad.
