It mates with a Buchanan plug or screw-terminal receptacle to bring field wiring onto the PCB through a solder-terminated through-hole connection. Rated 11 A per contact at 300 V, the header handles moderate power for industrial control signals, sensor loops, and actuator feeds. The 3.50 mm pitch keeps board routing dense enough for multi-circuit runs while still allowing easy hand-wiring in the field. At 0.138\" (3.50 mm) pitch, this header occupies a compact footprint for six circuits on one level. The contact tail length is 0.134\" (3.40 mm) — enough for standard 1.6 mm PCBs with good solder-joint standoff. Insulation height sits at 0.287\" (7.30 mm) above the board, leaving room under the shroud for the mating plug's latch. Compared to the 10-position sibling (1-2213934-1), this 6-position version suits smaller I/O groups where you don't want to leave half a header unpopulated. The 11 A rating at 300 V UL is the per-contact maximum in a single-circuit test condition. If the header sees frequent disconnect/reconnect in a corrosive environment, consider a gold-plated variant from the same series. RoHS3 compliant and packaged in bulk. No official cross-reference exists from TE for this exact part number. The functional alternative 1-2213934-1 shares the same series and pitch but carries 10 positions — confirm your circuit count before substituting.","metaTitle":"284512-6 TE Connectivity 6-Pin Right-Angle Header","metaDescription":"284512-6 TE Connectivity Buchanan 6-position shrouded header, 3.50 mm pitch, 11 A at 300 V, right-angle solder termination, UL94 V-0, RoHS3.
