Termination Flexibility – Press-Fit or Solder
The 440055-9: The header accepts both press-fit and solder termination. Press-fit suits backplane or high-reliability assemblies where solderless connections are preferred; solder termination is standard for wave-solder through-hole processes. The 3.40 mm post length accommodates typical PCB thicknesses.
Peer Comparison – Position Count and Pitch
Compared to the 1-292164-1 (11 positions, 2.00 mm pitch, CT series), this 9-position HPI header offers the same pitch but one fewer circuit, with a 3-wall vs 4-wall shroud. The 1376366-8 (.025 series, 8 positions, 2.20 mm pitch) uses a wider pitch and carries 5 A per contact, but the different pitch means the board footprint does not cross cleanly.
