Right-angle breakaway header for board-edge routing
10 positions vs 12 positions – comparing with 826942-6
The closest functional sibling is the 826942-6, which shares the same pitch, row spacing, plating, and right-angle through-hole mounting but carries 12 positions instead of 10. If your BOM calls for exactly 10 circuits, the 826953-5 is the correct fit; the 12-position version is a drop-in for a 12-circuit layout but will leave two pins unconnected on a 10-circuit board. Both parts are active and use the same tin-plated contacts, so the choice comes down to position count and board layout, not performance or sourcing risk.

Termination is solder through hole. The post length of 0.126" (3.20mm) is designed for standard 1.6mm thick PCBs; the mating pin length of 0.264" (6.70mm) provides adequate wipe for reliable contact.
