The 5-146261-7: Unshrouded design leaves the square pins exposed. This is typical for breakaway headers where the user snaps the pin strip to length.
Current and Contact Life — Signal-Duty Interconnect
This is a signal-level current — suitable for logic, I/O, and low-power board interconnects. At 14 positions fully loaded, the total current budget is 42 A, but derating above 85°C will reduce that per-contact ceiling. 30 µinch gold over nickel on the mating face — a standard industrial plating grade that supports 500+ mating cycles. The gold/tin interface at the mating face is the correct combination for repeated mating without fretting corrosion.
Lifecycle and Sourcing — Active Production, No LTB
No stock-holding claim; the part is sourced per RFQ. The base product number is 146261 — this specific variant (5-146261-7) carries the 14-position, gold-plated, through-hole configuration. Other position counts and plating options exist under the same base number.
