Termination is press-fit or solder — the press-fit option allows solderless assembly into plated through-holes, while soldering adds mechanical strength for high-retention applications. ## Contact Plating and Current Duty The 3 A rating per contact is a signal-level current; this header is not designed for power distribution. The brass contact material provides adequate conductivity for the rated current. ## How It Compares to Similar Headers Compared to the TE 1-292164-1 (CT series, 0.079\" pitch, 11 positions, detent lock), this 440053-3 has a wider 2.50mm pitch and a friction lock instead of a detent — the wider pitch allows easier routing for larger wire gauges, but the 3-position count limits it to small harnesses.","metaTitle":"440053-3 TE Connectivity Header, 3-Pos, 2.5mm Pitch, R/A","metaDescription":"440053-3 TE Connectivity AMP Connectors header, 3 positions, 0.098\" (2.50mm) pitch, right-angle, press-fit/solder, tin contacts, UL94 V-0.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"High Performance Interconnect (HPI)","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Pin Headers, Sockets & Housings","Pin Headers"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Style":"Board to Cable/Wire","Series":"High Performance Interconnect (HPI)","Package":"Bulk","Features":"-","Shrouding":"Shrouded - 3 Wall","Termination":"Press-Fit, Solder","Applications":"Automotive, General Purpose, Industrial, Medical","Contact Type":"Male Pin","Contact Shape":"Square","Mounting Type":"Through Hole, Right Angle","Connector Type":"Header","Fastening Type":"Friction Lock","Number of Rows":"1","Pitch - Mating":"0.098\\\" (2.50mm)","Product Status":"Active","Voltage Rating":"250V","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Contact Material":"Brass","Insulation Color":"Natural","Insulation Height":"0.165\\\" (4.20mm)","Ingress Protection":"-","Base Product Number":"440053","Insulation Material":"Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6","Number of Positions":"3","Row Spacing - Mating":"-","Contact Finish - Post":"Tin","Contact Length - Post":"0.134\\\" (3.40mm)","Current Rating (Amps)":"3A","Operating Temperature":"-25°C~85°C","Mated Stacking Heights":"-","Overall Contact Length":"-","Contact Finish - Mating":"Tin","Contact Length - Mating":"0.157\\\" (4.00mm)","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":"$0.4800","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$0.48000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$0.41500","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$0.34200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.29738","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.24534","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.21560","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10000,"price":"$0.20073","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/3326be9c734f230816ccdfbba8971146.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icsourcedirect.com/api/mcp/products/440053-3/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is 440053-3 RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, it is ROHS3 Compliant per the lifecycle record."},{"question":"What are the alternatives to TE 440053-3?","answer":"The closest functional alternative is TE 1-292164-1 (CT series, 0.079\" pitch, 11 positions, detent lock) — but the pitch and lock type differ, so verify board layout compatibility.
