The 1-281698-2 offers one more circuit and a wider 0.100\" pitch, which may simplify routing for legacy designs. The detent lock on the CT series provides a different retention feel; the friction lock on the HE13/HE14 is a simpler, lower-insertion-force design.","metaTitle":"1-281698-2 TE Connectivity 12-Position Right-Angle Header","metaDescription":"1-281698-2 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors HE13/HE14 series, 12-position single-row header, 0.100\" pitch, right-angle through-hole, friction lock, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"HE13/HE14","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"HE13/HE14","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 2 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Insulation Color":"Blue","Insulation Height":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"281698","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"12","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.114\\\" (2.90mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 100°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.276\\\" (7.00mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.9800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.98000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.80800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.61250","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.44322","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.29176","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.15813","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating half for 1-281698-2?","answer":"This header mates with HE13/HE14 series IDC receptacles and crimp housings that accept 0.100\" (2.54mm) pitch contacts.
