It mates with a CT series crimp housing (sold separately) that accepts the matching male pin terminal. The three-wall shroud guides the housing into alignment and protects the pins during mating. The detent lock on the header engages with the housing latch to resist vibration-induced separation — useful in general-purpose equipment where the cable sees occasional movement. ## Pitch, positions, and plating At 2.00 mm pitch, this header fits a compact board footprint for three signal or low-power circuits. The tin-plated mating surface and tin-plated post are rated for moderate mating cycles — typical for internal wiring where the connector is mated once during assembly and rarely cycled in the field. Current rating depends on the wire gauge used in the mating terminal — the header itself does not set a fixed ampacity. Voltage ceiling is 125 VAC. The UL94 V-0 nylon housing suits equipment inside an enclosure requiring a flammability rating.","metaTitle":"2-292161-3 TE Connectivity Header, 3 Pos, 2mm, Shrouded","metaDescription":"2-292161-3 TE Connectivity CT series header, 3 positions, 2.00mm pitch, shrouded 3-wall, detent lock, through-hole, tin-plated.
