The 6-103669-0: The four-wall shroud protects the square male pins during mating and handling, reducing bent-pin risk in automated or blind-mate assembly.
Pitch, Plating, and Temperature Range
The 2.54 mm pitch sets the PCB footprint density — 11 positions on a single row keep the board-edge width under 28 mm. The operating range of -65°C to 105°C covers most indoor and automotive cabin applications, though the upper limit is below under-hood requirements.
Termination and Mounting Details
Termination is press-fit, solder — the 0.130" (3.30 mm) post length suits standard through-hole PCB thicknesses. The keying slot prevents mis-mating with non-keyed counterparts, a useful feature when multiple similar headers share a board.
