The 0.130" post length is typical for standard PCB thicknesses (0.062" to 0.093") — the solder joint provides mechanical retention and electrical connection. The insulation height of 0.535" (13.60mm) above the board surface should be factored into component clearance and enclosure height budgets. The header is supplied in a tube, which is a common packaging for through-hole connectors that are hand-inserted or wave-soldered. The keying slot feature helps prevent mismating with non-keyed counterparts in multi-connector panels — a practical detail for harness builders who need to ensure correct orientation during assembly.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1-103638-5 RoHS compliant?
No, the 1-103638-5 is RoHS non-compliant due to the tin-lead finish on the solder posts. If RoHS compliance is required, consider a lead-free alternative in the AMPMODU MTE series with tin or gold post finish.
What is the mating connector for 1-103638-5?
The matching crimp socket terminals (e.g., TE part numbers in the 103638 series) are sold separately — build-to-print needs both halves and the contacts.
