With both straight and right angle orientation ranging from 4 to 40 positions with 2 to 25 positions per row, it meets your specific design requirements. It has a maximum current rating of 2A per contact.
The most significant advantage of this design is ...
... its intermateablity. Its 0.5mm square drawn wire pin provides for a smooth mating surface. It also facilitates automatic placement and withstands reflow soldering process. These connectors not only suit different design requirements but also help in cleaning the PCBs, easily. It boasts a high raw material temperature range and a compact standoff design with a Dual beam contact eject latch and active latch features.
