Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the 1.27 mm pitch matches the mating cable harness requirements. Ensure the SMT footprint aligns with the PCB layout guidelines provided in the official datasheet. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a project constraint. Validate the 1.75 A current rating against the actual circuit load to prevent overheating during operation.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, vertically oriented header is required for space-constrained designs. The IDC latch feature simplifies assembly compared to traditional crimping methods. Consider the 1.27 mm pitch density for high-pin-count applications within limited board areas. The gold plating offers superior conductivity and durability for frequent mating cycles. Evaluate the thermal range suitability for the intended operational environment.
