The base product number is 179843. ## Peer comparison: 3-row vs 2-row and 1-row alternatives Compared to the 12-position, 2-row 1379030-3 (0.100\" pitch, friction lock), the 179843-1 offers a wider 3.96mm pitch and a locking ramp for higher vibration duty. The 1-row 1-2232960-3 (3 positions, 2.50mm pitch) is a smaller alternative for lower circuit counts. Neither is a direct drop-in — the row count, pitch, and footprint differ.","metaTitle":"179843-1 TE Connectivity Power Double Lock Header, 12 Pos","metaDescription":"179843-1 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Power Double Lock header, 12 positions, 3 rows, 3.96mm pitch, shrouded, locking ramp, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Power Double Lock","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":"Power Double Lock","Package":"Tray","Features":"Board Guide","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Kinked Pin, Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Tab","Contact Shape":"Rectangular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"3","Pitch - Mating":"0.156\\\" (3.96mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.575\\\" (14.60mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"179843","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"12","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.181\\\" (4.60mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.150\\\" (3.81mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-30°C~105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"-","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":"$4.8800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.88000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.43200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":182,"price":"$3.90484","currency":"USD"},{"qty":546,"price":"$3.31914","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1092,"price":"$2.83103","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/b759f3c38ac1492908c54fa7b3b57b1a.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pin pitch of 179843-1?","answer":"The mating pitch is 0.156\" (3.96mm).
