The 1722981312: Its 3.50 mm pitch and 0.181" (4.60 mm) row spacing set the PCB footprint — a common pitch for moderate-current wire-to-board applications where 2.54 mm pitch would be too tight for the current draw. A latch holder locks the mating receptacle in place — no secondary clip or screw needed, which saves assembly time in high-vibration environments like automotive or industrial panels. Gold plating on the mating face at 30.0 µinch (0.76 µm) supports repeated mating cycles — expect 500+ cycles before contact resistance rises significantly.
Pitch, Positions, and Board Footprint
At 3.50 mm pitch, this header occupies more board space per circuit than a 2.54 mm part but carries higher current per contact — the wider pitch reduces mutual heating between adjacent pins. The 12 positions are all loaded, so no dummy pins.
Voltage, Temperature, and Flame Rating
Rated 400 V — this covers most industrial and automotive bus voltages (12 V, 24 V, 48 V, 120 V, 230 V) with ample margin. LCP also resists creep at high temperatures, maintaining pin retention over the product lifetime.
