Its 3.00mm pitch and 3.00mm row spacing give you a compact but routable footprint for signal and low-power distribution on a PCB. The locking ramp fastening provides a positive mechanical latch against the mating receptacle, which matters when the cable assembly sees vibration or accidental tugging. The header is fully shrouded on all four walls, so the pins are protected during handling and mating. Gold plating on the mating contacts (30.0µin thick) handles repeated connect-disconnect cycles without oxidation buildup, while the solder tails have a 100.0µin tin finish for reliable soldering to the PCB. ## Mating and termination details This header mates with Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle housings that accept crimp terminals. The locking ramp engages with the corresponding latch on the receptacle side — you should hear it click when fully seated. The SMD solder tails are designed for reflow assembly; the solder retention feature helps hold the part in place during soldering. The square male pins accept female crimp terminals from the same series; the contact material is brass. Current rating varies by wire gauge used in the mating half, so size your wire for the load.","metaTitle":"4-794638-6 TE Connectivity Micro MATE-N-LOK Header SMD","metaDescription":"4-794638-6 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Micro MATE-N-LOK header, SMD, 16 positions, 3.00mm pitch, dual-row, gold plating, locking ramp.","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":"Tape & Reel (TR) Cut Tape (CT)","Features":"Solder Retention","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 4 Wall","Termination":"Solder","Applications":"General Purpose","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","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":"0.364\\\" (9.25mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"794638","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA), Nylon","Number of Positions":"16","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":"Gold","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":"30.0µin (0.76µm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.8887","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$4.96000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1,"price":"$5.52000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$5.01200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$4.34400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":175,"price":"$3.88874","currency":"USD"},{"qty":350,"price":"$3.86600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":525,"price":"$3.61585","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1225,"price":"$3.22924","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/4-794638-6/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Where can I buy 4-794638-6?","answer":"4-794638-6 is sourced to order against your RFQ.
