5-Position 2.54mm Pitch — What the Gold Mating Buys You
The 5-103735-4: The latch holder and full 4-wall shrouding protect pins during blind mating and resist vibration-induced disconnect — a real advantage in automotive and industrial harnesses where the header sees cable strain.

Peer Check — 1394090-1 vs 5-103735-4
The closest functional peer is 1394090-1: a 6-position, right-angle, tin-plated header at 0.112" (2.85mm) pitch. The key trade-offs are 5 vs 6 positions, vertical vs right-angle orientation, and gold vs tin on the mating face. If your BOM needs a right-angle entry or a tin contact for cost, 1394090-1 is the alternative; for a vertical, gold-plated, 5-position line, 5-103735-4 is the match.
