Board-fit check: pitch, rows, and footprint
The 2-1761606-7: Two rows of 10 pins each, all positions loaded — no empty holes to confuse a harness build. The 0.102" (2.60mm) post length suits a standard 1.6mm PCB; confirm the board thickness and solder fillet height before layout.
Locking and keying: what the latch and slot do
Latch lock/eject hooks — the long style — grab the mating socket and pull it off when you squeeze the ears. This is a positive lock, not a friction-fit header; the cable assembly won't walk loose under vibration. The keying slot in the shroud blocks insertion of a socket without the matching key — one less way to miswire a panel.
Current and temperature: where this header works
ROHS3 compliant.
