Board-to-Cable Header with Keying and Flange
A keying slot prevents accidental mating with non-keyed headers, and the mounting flange provides a mechanical anchor to the board, resisting shear force from cable strain.
In a corrosive environment or where the connector is frequently disconnected for maintenance, gold prevents fretting corrosion that tin contacts would suffer. The 0.315" (8.00mm) insulation height and 0.240" (6.10mm) mating pin length provide clearance for the receptacle latch and cable exit.
