The glass-filled PA4T housing (black) holds the contacts in a single row, with all 4 positions loaded. The board guide feature aids alignment during mating, and the 0.531\" (13.50 mm) insulation height provides clearance above the PCB for the cable plug. Termination is solder to through-hole posts measuring 0.094\" (2.40 mm) long. ## How the 4-position right-angle layout fits your board The 0.094\" (2.40 mm) solder post length is a standard through-hole footprint. The Tape & Reel packaging (also available in Cut Tape) supports automated placement. ## How it compares to similar TE headers The closest peer, 1394090-1, is also a right-angle through-hole shrouded header but with 6 positions and a latch holder fastening system — 2 more circuits than the 2305987-2. It ships in a Box instead of Tape & Reel, so pick-and-place feeders need the Cut Tape variant of the 2305987-2. The 1-1871673-2 is a 4-position dual-row header with board lock, suited for board-to-board or cable applications where vibration resistance is critical.","metaTitle":"2305987-2 TE Connectivity MATEnet Header, 4-Pin, Right-Angle","metaDescription":"2305987-2 TE Connectivity MATEnet header, 4-position single-row, right-angle through-hole, shrouded, tin contacts rated 3 A, -40°C to 105°C.
