6.35 mm Pitch, 3-Position Shrouded Header
The 350789-1: The 0.250-inch (6.35 mm) pitch gives generous spacing between contacts — useful for routing power or signal lines where creepage distance matters, or where the board layout can tolerate wide trace separation.
Peer Comparison: Pitch and Position Count
Compared to the 1-2232960-3, which is also a 3-position single-row shrouded header but at a 0.098-inch (2.50 mm) pitch, the 350789-1's 6.35 mm pitch occupies roughly 2.5× the board width per position. The wider pitch allows larger wire gauges in the mating receptacle and reduces the risk of solder-bridge shorts during wave soldering. The 1318699-3 is a 12-position, 4-row header at 4.20 mm pitch with gold plating — a different density tier for multi-signal harnesses.
