Board Fit and Routing Budget
The 2842154-7: The 0.110-inch (2.79 mm) solder tail length is long enough for a solid through-hole joint on boards up to 1.6 mm thick; the post is tin-plated for good solder wetting and a reliable fillet.
Signal Current and Contact Reliability
The square male pin contact is made of copper alloy — a standard material for signal contacts that balances conductivity and spring properties.
Automated Assembly Ready
The pick-and-place feature allows the header to be handled by automatic placement equipment during through-hole reflow or selective soldering — no manual insertion step, which reduces assembly labour on medium-to-high volume runs. Supplied in tube packaging — the tube orientation aligns the pins for consistent pick-up by the placement head.
