The 5-102699-9 is a TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II shrouded header with 20 positions arranged in two rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — a standard footprint that mates with matching IDC receptacles and ribbon cable connectors.
Termination flexibility: press-fit or solder
Press-fit is preferred for solderless backplane assembly where rework and high-reliability are required; solder termination is the conventional through-hole method for standard wave or hand-soldering processes. The contact length — 0.320" (8.13mm) mating side and 0.250" (6.35mm) post — accommodates standard PCB thicknesses and mating connectors without bottoming out.
