Gold mating finish and cycle life
The 2842140-6: In a test-bench or field-service board where the connector is cycled monthly, that gold thickness supports decades of reconnections at the contact interface. The solder tails get a tin finish (78.7 µin) — standard for through-hole wave solder, no extra cleaning step needed.
Current and voltage envelope
ROHS3 compliant — no restricted substances in the housing or plating, per the current compliance declaration.
