What this breakaway header does in a board stack
Pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm) on both the mating and row spacing, so the footprint matches the standard 0.100" grid used across most prototyping boards and legacy designs.
Surface-mount assembly and pick-and-place readiness
This header is surface-mount only — no through-hole option. The package is Tape & Reel (TR) with Cut Tape (CT) available, and it carries the Pick and Place feature flag, meaning the top of the housing is flat enough for vacuum nozzle pick-up during reflow assembly. Tin is cost-effective for applications with few mating cycles — expect 50–100 cycles before wear-through.
