The gold-plated contacts (30µin) support repeated mating cycles—useful in equipment that sees periodic servicing or reconfiguration.
Overall contact length is 0.650" (16.51mm), with the mating pin extending 0.400" (10.16mm) above the insulator. Insulation height is 0.425" (10.80mm)—check the z-height budget if the header sits near a cover or another board.
Yes—the 3.96mm pitch and single-row layout match the MTA-156 receptacle housings. The friction lock on this header engages with the corresponding latch on the female housing to maintain the mated connection.
