Board Fit and Routing for the 8-Position Right-Angle Header
The 5-103672-7: The keying slot in the shroud wall ensures the mating receptacle is oriented correctly — a mismatched key will not fully seat, which prevents pin damage from reversed insertion.
Contact Plating and Current Capacity for Signal Duty
The part ships in bulk packaging, which suits both prototype and production volumes.
Comparing Position Count and Pitch with Nearby Siblings
Two peer headers in the same right-angle, shrouded, latch-holder family offer different trade-offs. The 1394090-1 is a 6-position header with a 2.85mm pitch — wider pitch but fewer circuits. The 1376366-8 matches the 8-position count but uses a 2.20mm pitch and is rated 5A per contact, which is a higher current density at the cost of a tighter board footprint. Neither peer is a direct drop-in replacement — the pitch difference means a different PCB layout and mating half.
