26-position right-angle header for board-to-cable harness builds
The 5102160-6: It uses a through-hole, right-angle orientation with full 4-wall shrouding to protect the male square pins during mating and prevent bent contacts in a harness assembly.
Comparing position counts within the same series
The 5102160-6 shares the same 0.100" pitch, right-angle orientation, gold mating finish, and 1 A rating as the 34-position 5102160-8 and the 64-position 1-5102160-2. The choice between them is a straight circuit-count decision — no change in footprint or mating interface across the family.
The 0.315" (8.00mm) insulation height above the board sets the z-height clearance for the mating cable connector. A keying slot and mounting flange are included — the slot prevents mis-mating with a keyed receptacle, and the flange provides additional mechanical retention to the board when the cable is strain-relieved.
