What this 2mm shrouded header does that a bare pin header cannot
At 2.00mm pitch, this header keeps board routing density higher than a standard 0.100-inch (2.54mm) header, but without forcing the tighter clearances of 1.27mm or 1.00mm.
Sizing the footprint and the mating half
The header has a mating pin length of 0.139 inches (3.53mm) and an insulation height of 0.217 inches (5.51mm). Confirm the mating half part number from the HPI series documentation before committing the BOM line.
