Two rows of outer shroud contacts terminate through-hole on a right-angle footprint, with the board-side solder tails and the mating interface oriented perpendicular to the PCB.
This receptacle mounts three ways: through the PCB via the right-angle solder tails, to the panel face using the integral housing/shell flange with 4-40 threaded inserts, or both for maximum mechanical retention. The solder termination requires wave or hand-solder assembly; no press-fit or IDC option on this variant.
The 5555233-1 mates with a CHAMP.085 plug housing carrying the same 36-position, 2-row shroud contact arrangement. The bail lock engages over the plug body and latches with an audible click — the lever provides mechanical advantage to overcome insertion force and holds the pair closed under cable strain or vibration.
