16-Position Dual-Row Receptacle for Board-to-Board or Cable
The 8-338069-6: Tin-plated mating contacts keep the per-circuit cost low for applications that do not require the cycle life of gold — typical for harnesses mated once and left in service.
Surface-Mount Termination with Friction Lock Retention
The receptacle uses surface-mount solder tails, which place the connector body directly on the PCB footprint without through-holes — this frees up board real estate on the opposite side for other components.
Cross-Shop: 8-338069-6 vs 1-2823056-2
For a BOM requiring 16 circuits, the 8-338069-6 is the direct choice; the 12-position variant fits lower-density layouts where the extra four positions are not needed.
