Right-angle panel-mount layout for sealed harnesses
The 4.00mm pitch and 0.157" row spacing set the footprint for the mating receptacle and PCB layout. Its right-angle orientation and combined panel-mount / through-hole termination allow the connector to be anchored to both the enclosure wall and the PCB, handling the mechanical strain of a sealed mate in automotive and industrial environments.
Sealing and retention in the mating interface
The board guide aligns the two halves during assembly, reducing pin damage in a production line or field service setting. Contacts are male pin, circular, made of brass with a Gold-Palladium mating finish — the palladium layer extends mating cycle life beyond standard gold flash, relevant for connectors that see repeated connect/disconnect during vehicle assembly or module swap-out.
