Pitch and footprint fit
Compared to a shrouded header like 1318699-3 (4-row, 4.20mm pitch, 5 A), the 87215-9 trades mechanical alignment and higher current for a smaller footprint and lower profile on the board.
Mating and contact reliability
The base product number 87215 covers multiple plating and post-length variants; confirm the full 87215-9 suffix matches your required gold thickness and post length.
