This is a slightly larger edition of the PH connector, except with 2.5mm pitch, and slightly larger contacts of a completely different design. Once again, mostly found in consumer electronics. This family features a peculiar single position header and receptacle.
Advantage of them is height. The mated assembly is considerably slimmer than any other type of connector.

We wasn’t going to bother covering the differences between this tool and generic tools, because they looked so similar, but lately I’ve been noticing something –
Left: Crimped with WC-110, Right: Crimped with Engineer PA-09
When we look at the crimps top down from the rear, we see that the original tool has beautifully curled the insulation crimp ends around, pressing neatly on the insulation without piercing it. This explains one of the biggest gripes with these connectors, which went away when we started using the original tool
