The 2842152-7: The 2.00 mm pitch sets a tighter board footprint than the common 2.54 mm, saving real estate on dense PCBs. With 14 positions in two rows and 0.079" row spacing, the header occupies a compact 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm grid — the board layout must match this exact pitch, or the mating receptacle won't align.
Contact Durability and Current Capacity
Gold mating finish at 30.0 µinch over copper alloy — this is a field-service grade plating. In a connector cycled quarterly, the gold layer supports over 100 mating cycles before the nickel underplate sees wear, making it suitable for test fixtures or modular assemblies that see repeated reconnects.
