Board-fit note: 1.00 mm pitch, right-angle SMT, latch holder
The 5015680707: A latch holder on the shroud locks the mating cable plug in place — it resists vibration-induced disconnection better than a friction-only fit, which matters in portable gear or moving assemblies.
Mating and termination checklist
Mates with the Pico-Clasp 501568 series receptacle — a shrouded 4-wall header, so the plug is fully enclosed before the latch engages, reducing the chance of bent pins during blind mating. Termination is solder-only (no press-fit option); the SMT pads need a reflow profile compatible with the polyamide housing (UL94 V-0 rated). Solder retention features on the body hold the header in place during reflow — this reduces tombstoning and improves first-pass yield on the pick-and-place line.
