If the application sees frequent reconnects or lives in a corrosive atmosphere, a thicker gold option like the 8.00 µinch on sibling 1376779-2 would extend contact life. The post finish is tin at 78.7 µinch, which solders well into through-hole boards. The thermoplastic insulation material holds the pins in a 2.00 mm grid and keeps the assembly rigid during soldering. The key difference is the mating gold thickness: 3.94 µinch on this part versus 8.00 µinch on the sibling. That thicker plating buys roughly double the mating cycle life. The sibling also ships in a box rather than a tube. Current rating on the sibling is 3 A versus 2 A here — a marginal gain that may matter if the per-contact load is tight.","metaTitle":"2842126-8 TE AMPMODU 16-Pin 2.00 mm Unshrouded Header","metaDescription":"2842126-8 TE AMPMODU 16-position dual-row unshrouded breakaway header, 2.00 mm pitch, gold-plated pins, 2 A rating, UL94 V-0, ROHS3.","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":"Tube","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Unshrouded","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header, Breakaway","Fastening Type":"Push-Pull","Number of Rows":"2","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":"2842126","Insulation Material":"Thermoplastic","Number of Positions":"16","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.079\\\" (2.00mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.110\\\" (2.79mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"2A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"0.327\\\" (8.30mm)","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":"$1.6500","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.65000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.43600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.28340","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.06954","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.91674","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.81284","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.79451","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/0c836bd34d82eb05ebd62abcafe1611f.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/2842126-8/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for 2842126-8?","answer":"As an unshrouded header, it mates with any AMPMODU 2.00 mm pitch receptacle that matches the 16-position dual-row layout.
