The 825457-4: The mating interface is gold-plated (3.90 µinch thickness), which provides reliable contact over repeated mate/unmate cycles in signal-level applications.
Material and compliance for industrial environments
Unlike the 953440-3 (6-position, shrouded, tin-mating, automotive-grade) or the 1379030-3 (12-position, shrouded, automotive), the 825457-4 is an unshrouded breakaway header with gold mating finish — it targets general-purpose board-to-board or cable interconnects where gold-on-gold contact is preferred over tin for corrosion resistance.
