The header is through-hole with kinked pins for solder retention, and the post length of 0.126\" (3.20 mm) is long enough for a standard 1.6 mm PCB with a solder fillet on the bottom side. ## Mating and Retention: Detent Lock and 3-Wall Shroud For a typical 22 AWG wire in the CT series, the contact is rated around 2-3 A; always verify the derating with the actual wire gauge and ambient temperature. ## How This Header Differs from a Right-Angle 11-Position Sibling The closest peer in the same CT series is 1-292164-1: same 2.00 mm pitch, same detent lock, same tin-plated contacts and UL94 V-0 housing, but it carries 11 positions in a right-angle, through-hole orientation with a 4-wall shroud. If your board layout needs a right-angle exit or more than 3 circuits, that sibling is the direct swap — but for a vertical, 3-position, board-to-cable connection, this 292161-3 is the correct member.","metaTitle":"292161-3 TE Connectivity CT Header, 3 Pos, 2 mm Pitch","metaDescription":"292161-3 TE Connectivity AMP CT series header, 3 positions, 0.079\" (2.00 mm) pitch, shrouded-3-wall, detent lock, tin contacts, UL94 V-0, RoHS3.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"CT","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 Cable/Wire","Series":"CT","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 3 Wall","Termination":"Kinked Pin, Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Circular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Detent Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.079\\\" (2.00mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"125VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.268\\\" (6.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"292161","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"3","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.126\\\" (3.20mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"0.370\\\" (9.40mm)","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.177\\\" (4.50mm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"-","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"-"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$0.6800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.68000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.59100","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.48740","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.42386","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.34968","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.30730","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.28610","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/58aa785f411ecef29d45373c1cf16006.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pitch of 292161-3?","answer":"The mating pitch is 0.079\" (2.00 mm)."},{"question":"Is 292161-3 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant."},{"question":"What is the mating connector for 292161-3?","answer":"The specific receptacle part number depends on circuit count and wire size — use the CT series product line to select the matching female housing and crimp terminals."},{"question":"Does 292161-3 have a detent lock?","answer":"Yes, the fastening type is a detent lock."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/292161-3","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/292161-3 when reusing this data.
