Voltage rating is 125VAC, which covers most low-voltage signal and power distribution inside equipment enclosures. ## Mating and sourcing: what fits and where to get it This header mates with TE CT series crimp housings that accept 2.00mm pitch terminals. The matching receptacle housing and crimp terminal must be ordered separately — it's three parts, not one. ## Position count contrast within the CT series Compared to the 3-position sibling 1-292173-3 and the 5-position sibling 1-292173-5, the 2-position 1-292173-2 shares the same pitch, shrouding, plating, and mounting style. If your BOM calls for more than two signals, step up to the 3- or 5-position variant without changing the footprint or mating housing family. The through-hole right-angle sibling 1-292164-1 (11 positions) uses a kinked pin for through-hole solder, which gives stronger mechanical retention than the SMT version but requires a drilled PCB. The SMT version saves board space and assembly cost when cable strain is managed by a separate strain relief.","metaTitle":"1-292173-2 TE Connectivity CT Header SMD R/A 2POS 2mm","metaDescription":"1-292173-2 TE Connectivity CT Series header, 2 positions, 2.00mm pitch, surface-mount right-angle, shrouded 4-wall, tin contacts, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"CT","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"CT","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Board Guide, Solder Retention","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Detent Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.079\\\" (2.00mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"125VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.228\\\" (5.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"292173","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA6T), Nylon 6T, Glass Filled","Number of Positions":"2","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"-","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.165\\\" (4.20mm)","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":"$1.0400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.04000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.99000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.81570","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.74150","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.64118","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.59320","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.54959","currency":"USD"},{"qty":12500,"price":"$0.53982","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for 1-292173-2?","answer":"The mating half is a TE CT series receptacle housing that accepts 2.00mm pitch crimp terminals. The specific housing and terminal part numbers depend on the wire gauge and circuit count needed. The header itself is a 2-position, single-row, shrouded male pin header with a detent lock."},{"question":"What is the current rating of 1-292173-2?","answer":"The current rating is not a fixed number — it varies by the wire gauge used in the mating crimp terminal. The header's tin-plated contacts can handle the current the wire can carry, but the assembly's ampacity is set by the wire and terminal, not the header alone. For a specific wire gauge, refer to the TE CT series crimp terminal datasheet."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-292173-2","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/llms.txt","source":"IC Source Direct","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"IC Source Direct\" and link https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/1-292173-2 when reusing this data.
