The 8 power contacts are arranged in a single row, with all positions loaded. ## Press-Fit Termination and Board Guide — What They Mean for Assembly Press-fit termination means the compliant pin is pressed into a plated through-hole on the backplane, creating a gas-tight connection without soldering. This is typical for backplane card cages where daughter cards plug in perpendicular to the backplane. ## Voltage Rating and Temperature Range Rated at 250 V, this header is sized for power distribution within a backplane. The -55°C to 125°C operating range covers industrial and outdoor telecom thermal cycling. ## How It Compares — 120958-1 vs 2-1437357-0 The closest functional peer in the UPM series is 2-1437357-0. Both are blade power headers in the same series, but 2-1437357-0 is packaged on a spool (reel) rather than a tube, and carries a current rating of 28 A per contact. The 120958-1 does not have a published current rating in its spec table, so if your design requires a known per-contact current limit, the 2-1437357-0 gives you a number to work with. Both are active lifecycle parts, so either is available for new designs.","metaTitle":"TE 120958-1 UPM Header, 8 Pos, Blade Power, Press-Fit","metaDescription":"TE 120958-1 UPM header, 8 power positions, press-fit termination, right-angle board-edge mount, UL94 V-0, -55°C to 125°C, ROHS3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"UPM (Universal Power Modules)","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Circular Connectors","Specialty Circular"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Gray","Pitch":"-","Series":"UPM (Universal Power Modules)","Package":"Tube","Features":"Board Guide","Termination":"Press-Fit","Mounting Type":"Board Edge, Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header, Male Blades","Contact Finish":"Gold or Gold-Palladium","Number of Rows":"1","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250V","Connector Style":"Blade Power","Connector Usage":"Backplane","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Number of Columns":"-","Base Product Number":"120958","Number of Positions":"8","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 125°C","Contact Layout, Typical":"8 Power","Contact Finish Thickness":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$17.2500","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$17.25000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$16.89400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$16.44520","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$15.63620","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$14.10860","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$14.01868","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$12.22142","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for 120958-1?","answer":"The 120958-1 is a header with male blades that mates with the matching UPM series receptacle housing.
