The 1-794637-6: Compared to a 10-circuit sibling in the same series, this 16-circuit version adds six positions in the same row count, widening the connector body by about 18 mm. The extra circuits suit applications needing more I/O in a single connector, such as multi-sensor harnesses or control module interfaces.
The base product number is 794637, which covers the Micro MATE-N-LOK header family. The -6 suffix indicates the specific circuit count, plating, and packaging variant. For a datasheet or product drawing, the base number is the key to locating the official documentation.
Solder Retention and Surface-Mount Assembly
This prevents tombstoning and ensures the header stays flat after soldering, critical for consistent mating with the receptacle. The insulation height of 0.364" (9.25 mm) gives clearance for the locking ramp and shrouding above the board surface. In a board-edge application, this z-height fits within typical enclosure clearances for wire-to-board connectors.
The tin-lead finish on the post is compatible with standard leaded solder processes; for lead-free assembly, verify compatibility with the solder alloy used.
