2.00 mm pitch, 8 circuits — SMT shrouded header
The 5600200821: This is an 8-position, single-row header from the Molex DuraClik 560020 series. The latch lock on the shroud provides a positive mechanical retention between the header and the mating housing. You should hear it click when the pair is fully seated — if it doesn't click, the lock isn't engaged and the connection can separate under cable strain or vibration. This is a tactile check that matters on the line.
The solder retention pads anchor the header to the board, taking shear load off the signal pins when the cable is tugged. The insulation height is 0.315" (8.00 mm), which sets the z-height clearance above the board — check this against nearby components on the assembly. The contact finish on both the mating face and the solder post is tin. Tin is the standard choice for cost-sensitive, moderate-cycle applications — it handles 25–50 mating cycles reliably in a clean environment.
Temperature range and flammability rating
The housing material is polyamide (nylon) rated UL94 V-0 — this is the standard flammability class for equipment inside an enclosure where the connector must not propagate a flame.
