Pitch, Positions, and the Board Footprint
The 4-794633-8: This is a dual-row 3.00 mm pitch header, 18 positions loaded. The 0.118" row spacing matches the mating receptacle's contact layout, so the footprint is fixed once the receptacle half is chosen.
Surface-Mount Assembly on the Line
Supplied in tape-and-reel packaging with a pick-and-place cap and board locks. The board locks anchor the header during reflow, holding it flat against the PCB pads while the solder solidifies. The pick-and-place cap gives the nozzle a flat, consistent surface to grip — no tombstoning risk from an uneven top. This header is designed for automated placement in a high-volume SMT line.
