Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify that the host PCB drill size matches the required 0.056-inch specification for proper press-fit engagement. Confirm that the application environment does not require polarization, as this unshrouded design lacks keying guides. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles before finalizing procurement to avoid mechanical interference.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard, unshrouded header with gold contacts is required. The press-fit option eliminates soldering but demands precise hole drilling. Consider the lack of shrouding for alignment risks in dense layouts. Verify that the 18-position count meets circuit requirements without needing parallel connectors.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context
