Right-angle 12-position header for wire-to-board
Its 3.00 mm pitch sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — tin-plated contacts at this pitch typically carry 5 A per circuit when mated with the proper receptacle and wire gauge.
Plating and termination details
Both the mating contact surface and the solder post are plated with 100.0 µinch (2.54 µm) tin over brass. Tin plating is cost-effective for moderate mating cycle counts — rated for 30 to 50 cycles typical — and the 100 µinch thickness provides a durable wear layer for field-service environments where the connector is mated and unmated a few times a year. Termination is through-hole solder, a reliable method for high-vibration assemblies when combined with the board lock.
