What this 2-position header does in the assembly
Shrouded on all four walls, it protects the contacts from accidental shorting during handling.
Right-angle mounting and board lock retention
The board lock adds mechanical retention during wave soldering and resists shear forces from cable pull. Insulation height is 0.368" (9.35mm), and the post length is 0.150" (3.81mm) — check your board thickness and component keep-out zones.
