Tin is a cost-effective finish for moderate mating cycles.
The single-wall shroud leaves the top of the pins exposed, which aids visual alignment during manual assembly but does not provide full pin protection. Insulation height of 0.300 inch (7.62 mm) above the board gives clearance for the mating receptacle's latch.
The pin pitch is 0.156 inch (3.96 mm), measured centre-to-centre between adjacent pins. This is the standard pitch for the MTA-156 series and sets the PCB hole pattern.
Yes, 640387-6 is ROHS3 compliant, meaning it meets the EU RoHS directive for restricted substances including lead, mercury, and cadmium.
The mating half is an MTA-156 receptacle housing (e.g., TE 640250 series) with crimp terminals. The friction lock on the header engages the latch on the receptacle for a secure wire-to-board connection.
