With a 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch and 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing, the header occupies a compact footprint on the PCB. The 0.138" (3.50mm) solder post length is standard for through-hole soldering on 1.6mm boards. The natural (white) insulation color helps visual inspection of solder joints after wave soldering.
Rated 9A per contact at 85°C ambient (industry standard derating applies above that).
Buyers need immediate pricing and availability for BOM fulfillment and procurement decisions.
Engineers require full electrical and mechanical specifications to validate fit and performance in their design.
Ensures compatibility with PCB layout and mating connector before ordering.
Designers need to know the correct receptacle or housing for cable assembly to complete the interconnect system.
Sourcing may consider alternatives for cost reduction or if primary part is unavailable.
The part is specified for general purpose and lighting; buyers want explicit confirmation for their application.
