Board-fit and routing for the 8-position SMT right-angle header
The 3-794629-8 is an 8-position, 2-row header on 3.00 mm pitch with a 0.118" row spacing — the footprint occupies a compact rectangle that keeps trace fan-out manageable on a two-layer board.
How the 3-794629-8 compares with a through-hole sibling
The 3-794629-8 offers double the circuit count (8 vs 4), a wider 3.00 mm pitch, and gold mating contacts — a meaningful upgrade for applications that need more I/O and higher mating cycle life.
