It mates with standard VAL-U-LOK receptacle housings that accept the matching crimp terminals — a common wire-to-board interconnect for moderate-current harnesses in industrial and lighting applications. Four-wall shrouding and a locking ramp on the top surface provide polarisation and audible latch retention when mated — the ramp clicks into the receptacle's matching window. ## Board lock anchors the header during reflow and service This is useful in any build where the wire exits the connector under tension or the assembly sees vibration.","metaTitle":"1586040-8 TE VAL-U-LOK Header 8 Pos 4.2mm Pitch Board Lock","metaDescription":"1586040-8 TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK header, 8 positions, 4.20mm pitch, shrouded, board lock, 9A, 600VAC.
