What this 8-position header mates with and where it fits
Its 3.00mm pitch and 8 positions in two rows set the PCB footprint for the mating Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle housing. This is the same fastening used across the Micro MATE-N-LOK family.
Board footprint and termination details
The header terminates through-hole with a press-fit or solder tail — the contact post length is 0.125" (3.18mm), which sets the board thickness window for a reliable solder joint or press-fit retention. Row spacing matches the pitch at 3.00mm, so the two rows of pins occupy a compact 3.00mm × 3.00mm grid on the PCB.
Contact finish and current rating — what to expect
Both the mating and post finishes are tin, plated to 100 µinch (2.54 µm) thickness. For a typical 20-24 AWG circuit in the Micro MATE-N-LOK system, the per-contact current is in the 3-5 A range at 30°C rise, but the exact value depends on the wire size and ambient temperature.
If you need a drop-in alternative, the closest match within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series would be a different position count or plating option — confirm the circuit count and pitch before substituting.
