The contact pitch is 2.54±0.1mm and terminal width is 0.60±0.05mm. Both section views show a 4.80mm housing dimension and 0.15±0.05mm terminal thickness. The straight form has a 3.0±0.3mm projecting terminal dimension; the kinked form has a 2.8mm projection and a 0.55mm reference offset.
A is body length, B is the distance between the end-contact centres, C is body width and D is row spacing. Table values are in millimetres.
