Position count choice: 6 vs 8 positions
The 87230-3 carries 6 positions. The sibling 87230-4 is identical in every other spec — same 0.100" pitch, gold flash, right-angle through-hole, UL94 V-0 — but offers 8 positions. If your BOM needs two more circuits, the -4 is a drop-in footprint upgrade without changing the connector family.
