The kinked solder tails (0.126\" post length) sit flush on the PCB pad for consistent solder fillet formation. ## Peer Comparison: 1-292164-1 The closest sibling is the 1-292164-1—also a CT series header, but with 11 positions (vs 8), right-angle orientation (vs vertical), and a 4-wall shroud (vs 3-wall). Both share the 2.00mm pitch, detent lock, and tin plating. If your board layout needs a right-angle exit or more circuits, the 1-292164-1 is the direct form-fit-function alternative within the same series.","metaTitle":"292161-8 TE Connectivity CT Header, 8 Pos, 2mm, Through Hole","metaDescription":"292161-8 TE Connectivity AMP CT series header, 8 positions, 2.00mm pitch, shrouded-3 wall, detent lock, UL94 V-0.
