The 2842115-8: Eight positions in a single row mean the connector occupies a linear footprint on the board edge, useful for mezzanine or parallel-board stacking where z-height is tight. Through-hole right-angle mounting routes the pins perpendicular to the PCB plane, keeping the mated connector assembly low-profile above the board surface.
Current and Contact Plating for Signal Duty
Tin-plated solder posts (78.7 µinch) ensure reliable wetting during wave or hand soldering without requiring gold on the board-side termination.
Temperature Range and Environmental Reach
Breakaway Unshrouded Design for Flexible Positioning
Unshrouded breakaway headers allow snapping to custom lengths, but offer no keying or polarization — orientation must be verified during assembly to avoid mis-mating. Push-pull fastening means the connection relies on friction fit; suitable for low-vibration environments where accidental unmating is unlikely.
ROHS3 compliant, with no planned end-of-life notice in the current lifecycle status.
The 1394090-1 is a shrouded latch-holder header at 2.85 mm pitch with tin contacts, 6 positions — wider pitch and different housing style preclude direct substitution.
