The 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch keeps the board footprint tight while providing enough spacing for 22-24 AWG wire terminated via crimp contacts. Tin-plated female blade sockets are the contact interface — suited for moderate mating-cycle duty where gold's higher cycle life isn't required.
Latch Lock and Right-Angle Routing
That matters in a harness assembly where the receptacle is hanging free, not bolted to a panel. The right-angle cable exit is a practical detail: it reduces the bend radius stress on the wire compared to a straight in-line exit, and it keeps the wire bundle closer to the mounting surface.
Termination is crimp, using the matching female blade socket contacts. The specified wire gauge is 22-24 AWG discrete wire — solid or stranded, as long as the outer diameter fits the contact barrel. Crimp termination gives a repeatable, gas-tight connection when the right tooling is used, and it allows field repair or rework without desoldering.
The tube packaging is the standard delivery format for this order code, so a BOM line calling for tube quantities will match the factory pack.
