The 500VAC rating describes the dielectric test; a separate working-voltage rating is unspecified.
The six fields after FH453M are contact arrangement, contact plating, housing colour, pickup support, packing type and post support.
| Field | Code | Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts | 2×2–2×40 | Two rows, 2–40 positions in each row |
| Contact plating | 8 / 6 / 0 | Full gold flash / full tin / selective gold flash |
| Housing colour | B | Black |
| Pickup support | S / X | With pickup / without pickup |
| Packing | T / R / B | Tray / tape on reel / tube |
| Post support | S / X | With locating posts / without locating posts |

N is positions per row, or half the total contact count. The drawing distinguishes the 3mm front-body height from the 3.25mm side seating reference. Add the illustrated locating holes only for the version with posts.
