The SMT termination suits automated pick-and-place lines, and the pick-and-place feature confirms the flat top surface is compatible with vacuum nozzles.
Mating Finish and Contact Geometry
The male pin is square, 0.228" (5.80mm) mating length, and made of brass. Square pins provide a reliable gas-tight connection with standard dual-beam receptacles.
Unshrouded Design and Board Fit
This header is unshrouded, meaning the pins are exposed without a plastic wall around them. In high-vibration or blind-mate applications, a shrouded header is a safer choice. The insulation is black PCT (polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate), a high-temperature thermoplastic rated for lead-free reflow.
