Board-fit and series identity
The 207496-9: This is a 4-position, 2-row female socket header in the Metrimate series, with a 5.00 mm pitch and 5.00 mm row spacing — the standard footprint for a compact power or signal interconnect on a through-hole PCB.
Current and voltage envelope
Rated 7.5 A per contact at 600 V, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 130°C — the 7.5 A rating is a practical ceiling for power distribution in a 4-circuit layout; the gold contact finish supports repeated mate-unmate cycles without fretting corrosion.
