If the design calls for frequent reconnection (50+ cycles) or a corrosive environment, step up to a thicker gold (15 µin or higher) or a shrouded header with a more robust contact system. No galvanic compatibility concern with HASL or ENIG pads. ## Current and Voltage — Signal-Level Duty For a typical digital or low-power analogue signal (GPIO, I2C, SPI, sensor output), this is well within the margin. Do not use for motor drive or solenoid power. This covers most automotive interior (non-engine-bay) and industrial cabinet environments where the ambient can reach 85°C and the connector sees occasional heat soak to 125°C. Surface-mount termination with a pick-and-place feature (vacuum pickup area) — this header is designed for automated assembly. The tape-and-reel packaging (available as TR or cut tape) feeds directly into a pick-and-place machine. No hand-soldering required; the SMT pads reflow with the rest of the board.","metaTitle":"2842102-8 TE AMPMODU 8-Pin 2mm SMT Header, Gold, Active","metaDescription":"2842102-8 TE Connectivity AMPMODU 8-position unshrouded header, 2.00mm pitch, SMT, gold-plated pins, -40°C to 125°C, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"AMPMODU","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 Board","Series":"AMPMODU","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Pick and Place","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Connector Type":"Header, Breakaway","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.079\\\" (2.00mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"125VAC/DC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Copper Alloy","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.059\\\" (1.50mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2842102","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"8","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"-","Current Rating (Amps)":"2A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Gold","Contact Length - Mating":"0.157\\\" (4.00mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"78.7µin (2.00µm)","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"3.94µin (0.100µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.4000","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.40000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.21500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.08560","currency":"USD"},{"qty":700,"price":"$0.90470","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1400,"price":"$0.77545","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2100,"price":"$0.74960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3500,"price":"$0.72376","currency":"USD"},{"qty":4900,"price":"$0.68757","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/0eead3249076b43370d81a3d362f8919.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/2842102-8/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 2842102-8 and how do I get a price?","answer":"2842102-8 is an active TE part. We source it through independent distribution against your BOM quantity. Submit an RFQ — we confirm availability and current pricing at quote time. No stock-holding claim; the part is quoted per order."},{"question":"Is 2842102-8 a male or female header?","answer":"It is a male pin header (male pin, square contact shape). It mates with a female socket receptacle — typically another AMPMODU series receptacle housing with crimp or IDC contacts."},{"question":"What is the pitch of 2842102-8?","answer":"The mating pitch is 2.00 mm (0.079 inches). The 8 positions are in a single row, so the overall footprint spans 14.00 mm from centre of pin 1 to centre of pin 8."},{"question":"What is the difference between 2842102-8 and 2842102-6?","answer":"The base product number is 2842102; the suffix (-8 vs -6) indicates the number of positions. 2842102-8 is an 8-position header; 2842102-6 would be a 6-position header. All other specs (pitch, plating, mounting, temperature range) are identical."},{"question":"Are there alternative parts to 2842102-8?","answer":"A close functional alternative is TE 1376779-2 — it is also a single-row, unshrouded header from the AMPMODU family, but it is through-hole (not SMT) and rated 3 A / 250 VAC with thicker gold (8 µin) on the mating contacts. If your board layout accepts through-hole, 1376779-2 offers higher current and voltage margin. It is also active and ROHS3 compliant."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/2842102-8","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/2842102-8 when reusing this data.
