The 207398-7: The 0.192" (4.88 mm) post length is the solder-tail extension below the board; it clears standard 1.6 mm thick PCBs with enough protrusion for a reliable solder fillet on the bottom side.
Mating and Housing Details
The mounting flange provides an additional screw-down point to the PCB or panel, taking mechanical strain off the solder joints when the cable is tugged or the assembly is serviced. Black and red insulation color — the two-tone housing aids visual polarity identification during harness assembly, reducing the chance of a mis-mated connection on the line.
Comparison Within the Metrimate Series
The Metrimate series includes both single-row and dual-row headers; this 10-position single-row variant offers a narrower board footprint than a dual-row 10-position header, which would occupy roughly the same board length but half the width.
