The 4-wall shroud and friction lock keep the mating half aligned and resist vibration-induced separation — useful in lighting or general-purpose enclosures where the connector might see movement.
Voltage rating is 250VAC.
This is a 10-position, single-row header with all positions loaded. The pinout follows the standard 0.100" pitch layout — position 1 is typically marked by a square pad or chamfer on the housing.
Yes, it has a 4-wall shroud that surrounds the pins, protecting them from damage and guiding the mating receptacle into alignment.
