The glow wire compliant rating (per IEC 60335-1) makes it suitable for household appliances and lighting where the connector must withstand a specified thermal fault condition without igniting. It is ROHS3 compliant. ## Position Count vs. Pitch: 20 Circuits at 2.50 mm Compared to the 3-position peer 1-2232960-3 (same Economy Power 2.5 series, 0.098\" pitch, locking ramp), this 20-position header offers a higher circuit count for applications requiring more I/O in a single connector. The friction lock vs. locking ramp is a different retention mechanism — both provide vibration resistance, but the friction lock engages without an audible click and releases with a straight pull. Against the 11-position CT series header 1-292164-1 (0.079\" pitch, detent lock, right-angle option), this part uses a wider 2.50 mm pitch that relaxes PCB routing density but allows higher current per contact (4.2 A vs. wire-gauge-dependent current). The choice between them depends on the board space budget and the current per circuit required.","metaTitle":"2-1744418-0 TE Connectivity Economy Power 2.5 Header 20 Pos","metaDescription":"2-1744418-0 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors header, 20 positions, 0.098\" (2.50 mm) pitch, shrouded, friction lock, 4.2 A, 250 VAC, tin contacts, active","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Economy Power 2.5","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":"Economy Power 2.5","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Board Guide, Glow Wire Compliant","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Kinked Pin, Solder","Applications":"General Purpose, Industrial, Lighting","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Circular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.098\\\" (2.50mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.346\\\" (8.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"1744418","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"20","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.134\\\" (3.40mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"4.2A","Operating Temperature":"-55°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":"80.0µin (2.03µm)","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"80.0µin (2.03µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.3000","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.30000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.10200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.98980","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.80986","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.71988","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.62989","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.59840","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/da02d3fcd57fc6f84a6aa5a4a86ae011.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does 2-1744418-0 have a friction lock?","answer":"Yes, the fastening type is a friction lock, which provides retention against vibration without a secondary latch."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2-1744418-0","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/2-1744418-0 when reusing this data.
