Mates with AMPMODU 2.00mm crimp-socket receptacles and IDC connectors sharing the same pitch and row spacing. The 0.098-inch (2.50mm) post length accepts standard PCB thicknesses in the 1.6mm range; the 0.145-inch (3.70mm) mating pin length engages the receptacle contact beam fully. Termination is solder to through-hole — no press-fit or SMT. The tin-plated post (78.7µinch) solders reliably with standard wave or hand-solder profiles. The header accepts male pin contacts (square, copper alloy) — the mating half uses female crimp terminals. Confirm the BOM's receptacle part number matches the 2.00mm AMPMODU footprint.","metaTitle":"2842168-8 TE Connectivity AMPMODU 2mm Header, 8-Pin","metaDescription":"2842168-8: 2.00mm pitch, 8-position, 2-row shrouded header with 30µin gold plating.
