Right-angle header for board-edge signal routing
The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch matches standard 0.100" grid layouts, and the shrouded-4 wall design protects the male pins during handling and mating. Rated 3 A per contact with tin plating on both the mating surface and the solder post — the 100.0 µin (2.54 µm) thickness supports repeated mating cycles in signal-level applications without the cost of gold.
Latch holder retention for vibration environments
This is the key differentiator from friction-only headers in the same pitch family.
