Termination is dual: press-fit and solder. Press-fit eliminates the soldering step for high-reliability backplane or power-distribution boards, while the solder option gives a conventional through-hole assembly path. The latch holder locks the mating half in place, which matters in any application with vibration or cable strain — think industrial controllers, server power shelves, or test equipment. Gold on the mating contacts (8.00 µin) handles moderate mating cycles without fretting corrosion.
The mating connector is a TE RITS series receptacle (female socket header mates with a male pin header or a cable-mounted plug). The press-fit option requires a specific PCB hole size — check the product drawing for the recommended finished hole diameter.
