Termination and Mating: Press-Fit and Solder, Through Hole
The 102699-6: Termination is press-fit, solder — the compliant pin presses into the plated through-hole without solder, then the solder tail is wave-soldered for mechanical and electrical integrity. The 0.250" (6.35 mm) post length accommodates standard PCB thicknesses up to ~0.125" with room for the solder fillet. The 0.320" (8.13 mm) mating pin length ensures full contact wipe inside the receptacle socket before the detent lock engages.
