What this 8-pin shrouded header does in the assembly
The 5-103168-2 is a board-to-board or cable header from the AMPMODU Mod II series, with 8 positions in two rows on 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The full 4-wall shroud protects the male pins from bending during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment. Rated 3 A per contact, with 30 µinch gold on the mating surface — enough for repeated connect/disconnect cycles in field-service or test equipment.
