10-Position Shrouded Header for Wire-to-Board Interconnects
Shroud, Latch, and Board Guide for Reliable Mating
The shrouded - 4 wall design surrounds the pins on all four sides, preventing pin damage during shipping and handling, and providing a self-aligning cavity for the mating receptacle. A built-in board guide on the header helps locate the component during through-hole insertion, reducing skew and ensuring the pins enter the plated holes squarely. This is a practical feature for wave solder or hand assembly where the header must sit flat against the board before soldering.
