The SMT termination and integrated board guide simplify pick-and-place assembly, while the 5.38 mm board height supports mated stacking heights of 8 mm, 9 mm, or 10 mm when paired with the matching plug.
When mated with the corresponding Free Height plug, the assembly achieves a stack height of 8 mm, 9 mm, or 10 mm — the exact height depends on the plug variant selected.
Gold Plating and Contact Reliability
The outer shroud contacts provide mechanical alignment before the signal pins engage, reducing the risk of stubbing or bending during blind mating.
