36-position dual-row at 0.100" pitch — board footprint and signal density
The 1-534206-8: The 36 circuits load all positions across two rows, giving 18 contacts per row — a dense but routable signal footprint for prototyping or production boards. Current rating is 2 A per contact, typical for signal-level AMPMODU Mod II receptacles.
Termination is through-hole solder — the 0.115" (2.92 mm) post length provides adequate protrusion for wave soldering on standard 0.062" boards. The contact post finish is tin-lead (150 µinch), which is compatible with leaded solder processes but makes this part RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-required builds, a tin-post alternative would be needed.
Active production, RoHS non-compliant — sourcing posture
RoHS non-compliant due to the tin-lead post finish. If your build requires RoHS compliance, the closest functional alternative from the same series is the 1376775-2 (5-position) or 1376775-3 (3-position) — but those have thinner 8 µinch gold on the mating face and a different position count, so a board layout change would be needed.
Gold thickness delta vs. peer 1376775-2
Compared to the 1376775-2 (5-position, 3 A, 8 µinch gold), this 1-534206-8 offers 30 µinch gold on the mating face — roughly 4× the gold thickness. The 1376775-2 carries a 3 A current rating vs. 2 A here, but that is in a 5-position housing with different thermal characteristics. For a 36-position signal interconnect, the 2 A rating is the practical per-contact limit given the row density.
