The 5-row arrangement and 0.236" (6.00mm) row spacing give it a wide, blocky footprint suited for high-density wire harnesses where you need to pack a lot of circuits into a single connector body.
The One Thing You Need to Know: Contacts Not Included
This housing ships empty — the note "Contacts Not Included" means you must order the mating female crimp terminals separately.
This housing mates with a male header or plug that has the corresponding 28-position, 5-row layout at 2.54mm pitch. The latch holder provides a positive lock — you'll hear or feel it click when the housing is fully seated on its mating half. The housing is free-hanging, so it lives in the harness, not on a board. No soldering, no PCB footprint — just a wire-to-wire or wire-to-device connection.
