The unshrouded design allows the header to be snapped to any even circuit count from 2 to 16, which is useful when a BOM calls for a non-standard position count and the assembler depopulates the carrier. The through-hole solder tails are tin-plated (78.7 µinch) for reliable wave-solder wetting. Operating temperature spans -40°C to 125°C, covering automotive underhood and industrial cabinet environments without derating. ## Board Layout and Mating Fit In a vibration environment, a secondary retention method (board lock or adhesive) should be considered. The header is supplied in a tube and includes a pick-and-place feature for automated assembly. It is RoHS3 compliant. Availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time. ## Comparing 2842131-8 with 2842131-4 The closest functional sibling is 2842131-4, which is identical in pitch (2.00 mm), row count (2), plating (gold mating, tin post), and housing material (UL94 V-0). The difference is position count: 2842131-8 carries 16 circuits; 2842131-4 carries 14 circuits. If the BOM calls for 14 positions, the 16-position part can be depopulated by snapping off two pins — but the 14-position sibling avoids the extra depopulation step and keeps the board footprint smaller.","metaTitle":"2842131-8 TE Connectivity AMPMODU Header, 16 Pos, 2.00 mm","metaDescription":"2842131-8 TE Connectivity AMPMODU breakaway header, 16 circuits, 2.00 mm pitch, gold mating finish, through-hole, UL94 V-0.
