Board Fit and Routing at 0.100" Pitch
The 4-102972-0-23: The 23-position single-row layout is fully populated, so no depopulation gaps to work around when routing traces between pins. Mating contact finish is 15 µinch gold over copper alloy, which handles repeated connect-disconnect cycles better than tin.
The thermoplastic housing (UL94 V-0) and the tin-lead post finish set the thermal budget — above 105 °C the insulation material begins to soften, so derate current accordingly. The -65°C low end means this header survives cold-storage and outdoor cabinet soak without embrittlement.
