10 positions, 2.54mm pitch, shrouded header with locking ramp
The locking ramp on the shroud engages with the mating housing's latch, giving the mated pair positive retention under vibration without needing a separate screw or clip.
Tin-plated contacts: low-cycle, cost-effective interconnect
The trade-off is a lower per-position cost than gold-flash alternatives, which matters when populating a board with multiple headers.
Through-hole solder termination for mechanical strength
The 0.134" (3.40mm) solder post length is standard for through-hole mounting on a 1.6mm-thick PCB. Through-hole termination gives a stronger mechanical anchor than SMT — the pins carry the cable strain and the board lock isn't needed here because the post itself takes the shear load.
