The right-angle orientation lets you route the cable parallel to the PCB, saving z-height in tight enclosures. The 4-wall shrouding protects the male pins from bending during handling and mating, and the locking ramp gives you an audible click when the receptacle seats — you should hear it click home, and it stays put under vibration. ## Pitch, position count, and mating half compatibility This header mates with Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle housings that accept crimp terminals — the mating half is a 6-position, dual-row receptacle (e.g., TE 794617 series). The locking ramp on the header engages the latch on the receptacle; if it backs out, it's scrap, so confirm the receptacle has the matching detent. Current rating is listed as varies by wire gauge — the limiting factor is the terminal and wire size, not the header pin itself. For a typical 22 AWG wire, expect around 5 A per contact; derate above 25°C ambient per the product drawing. ## How this header compares to a close peer The closest functional peer is TE 1-1871673-2, also a right-angle through-hole header with board lock and shrouded 4-wall design. If your board layout can accommodate the tighter pitch and fewer circuits, 1-1871673-2 is a drop-in alternative for lower-density applications. The 3-794618-6 gives you the wider 3.00 mm pitch for easier routing and the locking ramp for a positive mechanical latch.","metaTitle":"3-794618-6 TE Connectivity Micro MATE-N-LOK Header, 6 Pos","metaDescription":"3-794618-6 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Micro MATE-N-LOK header, 6 positions, 3.00mm pitch, right-angle, through-hole, locking ramp, board lock, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"Micro MATE-N-LOK","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"Micro MATE-N-LOK","Package":"Tray","Features":"Board Lock","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Locking Ramp","Number of Rows":"2","Pitch - Mating":"0.118\\\" (3.00mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Black","Insulation Height":"0.290\\\" (7.37mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"794618","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"6","Row Spacing - Mating":"0.118\\\" (3.00mm)","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"-","Current Rating (Amps)":"Varies by Wire Gauge","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 105°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"-","Number of Positions Loaded":"All","Material Flammability Rating":"UL94 V-0","Contact Finish Thickness - Post":"100.0µin (2.54µm)","Contact Finish Thickness - Mating":"100.0µin (2.54µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.6700","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.67000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.52400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":286,"price":"$1.33598","currency":"USD"},{"qty":572,"price":"$1.21589","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1144,"price":"$1.08830","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5148,"price":"$0.97572","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10010,"price":"$0.92890","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/3-794618-6/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the mating connector for 3-794618-6?","answer":"The mating half is a Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle housing, 6 positions, dual-row, with a locking ramp detent.
