What this header fits — board footprint and wire-to-budget
The 4-641208-0: This is a 10-position, single-row header from the MTA-156 series, with a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch that sets the board layout and the per-contact current ceiling.
Field-fit and cross-reference reality
This header mates with MTA-156 receptacle housings and accepts the matching crimp terminals (20-24 AWG). If you're replacing a damaged header on an existing board, confirm the 0.156" pitch and 10-position layout match the footprint; the 0.400" mating pin length (10.16mm) provides enough reach for standard receptacles. No direct pin-compatible alternative is listed in the MTA-156 series at this position count — the 4-641208-0 is the specific 10-position vertical version. A different position count or right-angle variant would require a board layout change.
