In a panel or enclosure subject to moderate vibration, this lock holds better than a simple interference fit. The 281698-4 is listed as Active and RoHS Compliant. The base product number 281698 covers the series; the -4 suffix indicates the 4-position variant. ## Mating with HE14 crimp receptacles This header is designed to mate with HE14-series crimp receptacle housings that accept 0.100\" pitch contacts. Confirm that the receptacle housing has a 4-position cavity layout matching the header's single-row, 4-position configuration.","metaTitle":"281698-4 TE Connectivity Header, 4 Pos, 2.54mm, Right Angle","metaDescription":"281698-4 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors HE13/HE14 header, 4 circuits, 0.100\" pitch, right-angle through-hole, tin-plated contacts, friction lock, RoHS.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"HE13/HE14","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"HE13/HE14","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 2 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"-","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Phosphor Bronze","Insulation Color":"Blue","Insulation Height":"0.200\\\" (5.08mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"281698","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"4","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.114\\\" (2.90mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 100°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.276\\\" (7.00mm)","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":"$0.7400","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.74000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.71700","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.57830","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.51204","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.44879","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.39156","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.37278","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/281698-4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 281698-4 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the 281698-4 is listed as RoHS Compliant."},{"question":"Can 281698-4 mate with HE14 crimp contacts?","answer":"Yes, it is designed to mate with HE14-series receptacle housings that accept crimp terminals.
