How it compares to shrouded siblings
Compared to the shrouded 1379030-3 (12 positions, dual-row, friction lock), this 32-position unshrouded header trades keying and vibration resistance for higher circuit density and breakout flexibility. The 1379030-3 is right-angle with a board lock, suited for cable-to-board where the connector sees pull forces; this part is straight through-hole, better for board-to-board stacking where the header stays fixed. The 953440-3 (6 positions, shrouded, automotive) adds a mounting flange and board guide for automated assembly, but at a fraction of the circuit count. If your design needs more than 12 positions and doesn't require shrouding, the 3-826936-2 is the higher-density choice.
