The 4.20 mm pitch and 0.165\" row spacing give generous clearance for routing thicker power wires alongside signal lines. ## How the 13 A rating changes your power budget At 13 A per contact, this header can carry up to 156 A across all 12 positions (assuming balanced load and proper derating). That is roughly 44% more current than the 9 A per contact of the ATX-series peer 4-1775099-7 at the same 4.20 mm pitch, making the VAL-U-LOK HCS variant a better fit for power-distribution boards in lighting or industrial control. Compared to the 1379030-3 header at 2.54 mm pitch with a friction lock, the 1-2825260-2 offers a wider pitch (4.20 mm vs 0.100\") and a positive locking ramp instead of a friction lock, which improves retention in high-vibration assemblies.","metaTitle":"1-2825260-2 TE VAL-U-LOK Header 12 Pos 4.20mm 13A","metaDescription":"1-2825260-2 TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK header, 12 positions, 4.20mm pitch, 13A, 600V, locking ramp, UL94 V-0.
