• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions Loaded: 5
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Length - Mating: 0.230" (5.84mm)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.090" (2.29mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.219" (5.56mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Contact Finish - Post: Tin
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
