9 A per contact — tin-plated, rated for the application
Tin plating is a workhorse choice for moderate mating cycles — expect hundreds of mates before wear-through, which suits the general-purpose, industrial, and lighting applications listed for this series.
Right-angle through-hole — board-edge routing
Closest peer — 4-1775099-7
The nearest functional alternative is TE's 4-1775099-7, also a VAL-U-LOK 4.20 mm pitch header, but with 20 positions (two more), thicker 120 µinch tin plating, and a UL94 V-0 housing instead of V-2. If the BOM calls for 18 positions and V-2, the 1-1586043-8 is the direct match — the 20-position peer requires a board layout change and a different mating receptacle.
