Prevents damage to the connector or terminals by avoiding misalignment:
Decreases assembly time and mis-mating errors with blind-mate interface (BMI) connector design

The smallest, fully-isolated headers in the market:
Deliver up to 69% PCB space savings

Optional TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) retainer:
• Ensures terminals are fully seated in the housing to reduce terminal back-out
• Retains terminals if main retention feature fails

Positive-lock housing with anti-snag design:
• Ensures mated connector assemblies will not accidentally disengage
• Provides an audible click while mating
• Protects latch from damage due to wire snags

Terminal interface with four points of contact:
Offers redundant, secondary current paths for long-term performance and reliability

SMT version enables use of multi-layer boards by eliminating the need for through holes:
• Opens up real estate on space-constricted PCBs
• Potentially reduces costs by enabling use of smaller PCBs with fewer drilled holes

Multiple mechanical keying and color-coded options:
• Allow same-circuit, multiple-connector use with virtually no chance of cross mating
• Color coding provides visual indication of the proper mating connector — enabling faster assembly

Ultra-low mate force terminal:
Reduces operator fatigue and improves assembly compliance for high-circuit applications

Fully isolated terminals:
Protect against potential damage of the header and receptacle terminals during handling and mating

Retention tang and contact rib:
Maintains stable contact

SMT headers provide short electrical paths:
Deliver superior signal integrity performance

Terminals and headers available in gold and tin plating:
Delivers different cost options while meeting performance need
