It terminates via surface-mount right-angle solder tails, which keeps the mated wire assembly parallel to the PCB — useful in tight enclosures where vertical clearance is limited. ## Shrouded housing with detent lock The header is fully shrouded on all four sides, protecting the male pins during handling and mating. A detent lock on the housing provides positive retention with the matching CT receptacle — no separate locking clip needed, which saves assembly time and reduces part count. The black PA6T/glass-filled housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting the flame requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. ## Mating and termination check Mates with CT series crimp-socket receptacles (e.g., housings 1-292173-x series). The square tin-plated male pins accept the receptacle's female contacts. The board guide and solder retention features aid alignment and hold the header during reflow.","metaTitle":"292173-8 TE Connectivity CT Header SMD R/A 8POS 2mm","metaDescription":"292173-8 TE CT Series shrouded header, 8 positions, 2.00mm pitch, SMD right-angle, detent lock, UL94 V-0.
