The 2.50mm pitch sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling — at this spacing, the tin-plated contacts carry the rated current without exceeding the PBT housing's temperature rise limit. The 4-wall shrouding protects the male pins during handling and blind mating, while the friction lock holds the cable-side receptacle in place against moderate vibration. This is a board-to-cable/wire connector, not a board-to-board stacking part. ## Mounting and termination — through-hole with kinked pins Through-hole mounting with kinked solder pins: the 0.134\" post length gives a solid solder joint on the PCB bottom side. The kink provides retention during wave soldering before the solder solidifies. The mating pin length is 0.142\", which engages the receptacle contact beam fully. The header mates with any Economy Power 2.5 female housing (2.50mm pitch) that accepts the corresponding crimp terminals. ## Sourcing and lifecycle — active production, quoted per RFQ No official pin-compatible successor or cross-reference is listed. The base product number is 2304185; the -2 suffix indicates the 2-position variant.","metaTitle":"3-2304185-2 TE Economy Power 2.5 Header 2-Pin 2.50mm Pitch","metaDescription":"3-2304185-2 TE Connectivity AMP Economy Power 2.5 header, 2 positions, 2.50mm pitch, shrouded 4-wall, friction lock, tin contacts.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Economy Power 2.5","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"Not applicable","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"Economy Power 2.5","Package":"Bag","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Kinked Pin, Solder","Applications":"-","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Circular","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.098\\\" (2.50mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250VAC","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.346\\\" (8.80mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"2304185","Insulation Material":"Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)","Number of Positions":"2","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.134\\\" (3.40mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"-","Operating Temperature":"-55°C ~ 105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.142\\\" (3.60mm)","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":"$0.2500","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.25000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.21900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.19910","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.15452","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.14362","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.12726","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.11272","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/79e07400d0d5c681fdca35a22040ae47.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pin count and pitch of 3-2304185-2?","answer":"2 positions, single row, 2.50mm pitch.
