Board footprint and orientation for the harness builder
The 3-794624-6: This is a 6-position, dual-row header on 3.00mm pitch — the same pitch as the Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle, so the board footprint lines up pin-for-pin with the mating half. The locking ramp on the header engages the receptacle latch for a positive audible click — the mated pair stays together under vibration without relying on the solder joints for retention.
Contact plating and current rating
Tin at this thickness is cost-effective for moderate mating cycles — typically 50 to 100 mates — and works well in clean, dry environments. The current rating is listed as varying by wire gauge — in the Micro MATE-N-LOK system, the terminal and wire size determine the ampacity, not the header alone. For a given wire gauge, the header's contact resistance and temperature rise stay within the housing material limits.
