In practice, the rating drops as the ambient temperature rises; a derating curve applies above 25°C. Voltage rating is 125 VAC, which covers most low-voltage signal and power applications inside equipment. The header is rated for general-purpose use — not for high-vibration or outdoor environments without additional sealing. Available in bulk packaging. No official second source or direct replacement is listed — the CT series is a proprietary TE family.","metaTitle":"292251-8 TE Connectivity CT Header, 8 Pos, 2mm, Through Hole","metaDescription":"292251-8 TE Connectivity CT series header, 8 positions, 2.00 mm pitch, shrouded, through hole, tin contacts.
