Overall contact length is 0.410" (10.41mm), with the mating pin extending 0.230" (5.84mm) above the insulation. In a high-vibration environment, a secondary locking receptacle or a dab of adhesive on the mating face is worth considering. Insulation height is 0.090" (2.29mm) above the board surface, keeping the overall stack low for tight z-height budgets.
How It Compares to Shrouded Siblings
Unlike the shrouded 953440-3 (6-position, right-angle, friction lock) or the 1379030-3 (12-position, right-angle, board lock), this header is unshrouded, straight, and breakaway — you can snap it to a shorter length if your design only needs 8 or 6 positions. The shrouded siblings add polarization and a locking feature for vibration-prone automotive or cable-to-board applications, but they are fixed-position and take more board space.
