7.40mm pitch and 1200V — the clearance story
The 2018431040: The 0.291" (7.40mm) pitch on this single-row header is the mechanical enabler for the 1200V voltage rating — wide contact spacing prevents flashover between adjacent pins in high-potential circuits. This is not a dense signal connector; the pitch and voltage pair it for power distribution in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and medical equipment where isolation margins matter.
Right-angle through-hole and latch lock for vibration duty
The latch lock holds the mating half under shock and vibration — a requirement for automotive and industrial harnesses. The 4-wall shrouding protects the male pins from damage during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment before the latch engages.
PEI insulation and 150°C ceiling
Polyetherimide (PEI) housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating supports the -40°C to 150°C operating range — this header is specified for under-hood automotive, high-temp industrial cabinets, and medical sterilization cycles.
