Right-angle SMT header for board-edge cable exits
Solder retention and reflow stability
Solder retention tabs on the header body anchor the part to the PCB during reflow, preventing skew or lift from the solder paste. This is critical for right-angle SMT headers, where the cable strain during assembly applies a shear force to the solder joints. The retention tabs share that load with the solder fillets, improving the mechanical reliability of the connection.
Mating half and build-to-print BOM
For a complete build-to-print BOM, you need the header (2170640061), the mating receptacle housing, and the appropriate crimp terminals for your wire gauge.
