Board footprint and circuit count
Current and contact finish
The current ceiling is set by the pin cross-section and the housing temperature rise limit — at 3 A the LCP housing stays within its UL94 V-0 rating.
Comparing to a similar 2-position header
Peer part 1376779-2 is also a 2-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole header from the same series. The key difference: 1376779-2 uses 8.00 µinch gold on the mating contact instead of 30.0 µinch — a lighter plating that still works for low-cycle applications but won't match the 30 µinch part's durability in frequent reconnects.
