Right-Angle, 6-Position, 2.54mm Pitch — Board-Edge Fit
The 5-102617-1: Through-hole solder tails give a stronger mechanical anchor than SMT — the 0.135" (3.43mm) post length is enough for a 1.6mm board with standard wave solder. A 4-wall shrouded housing with a detent lock protects the pins from stubbing and provides a positive tactile latch when mated — the lock holds against moderate vibration, though it is not a secondary TPA.
Gold Mating Finish — 15.0µin for Repeated Mating
The post tails are tin-plated (100.0µin), which is the standard solderable finish for wave-solder assembly. Compare this to a tin-plated sibling like 1-1871673-2 (4-position, 2.50mm pitch, tin mating finish) — the gold on this 5-102617-1 buys you corrosion resistance and higher cycle life, but the sibling is rated for current that varies by wire gauge and carries a board lock feature. For a 6-position application requiring repeated disconnect, the gold finish is the right call.
