10 circuits at 3.00 mm pitch, right-angle board exit
The 4-794679-0: This is a 10-position, dual-row header from the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, pitched at 3.00 mm on both the mating and row spacing. The right-angle orientation routes the wire bundle parallel to the PCB — useful for board-edge connections where z-height is tight. The 30.0 µinch gold plating on the mating face supports repeated mate-unmate cycles without contact fretting, typical for field-service equipment or modular sub-assemblies that get swapped quarterly.
Board lock holds during reflow; locking ramp resists vibration
Once mated, the locking ramp on the shroud provides a positive audible latch — the pair stays together under vibration up to the housing material limit.
Current rating follows the wire, not the contact
The listed current rating varies by wire gauge — the contact itself is not the bottleneck. In practice, the 30 µinch gold interface keeps resistance low, but the real current ceiling is set by the temperature rise in the attached wire.
