Board-fit and routing density
The 5-147105-5: The dual-row layout keeps the board-edge width under 0.3" while giving you a 2 A per-contact signal path.
SMD termination and pick-and-place readiness
Surface-mount termination with pick-and-place features — the part ships in tape and reel for automated assembly. The polyester, glass-filled housing (UL94 V-0) withstands reflow temperatures. Bottom or top entry means the receptacle accepts a header from either side, simplifying board stacking or cable routing.
Comparing the 10-position to the 12-position sibling
The 5-147105-6 is the 12-position version of the same dual-row, gold-plated, SMD receptacle. Same pitch, same current rating, same pick-and-place features. If your BOM calls for 10 circuits, this is the one; if you need two more, the 12-position is a drop-in footprint extension.
