Board-to-Wire Header for Right-Angle Routing
The 1-171826-0: Tin is cost-effective for moderate mating-cycle duty — expect several dozen cycles before noticeable wear.
For a pin-compatible alternative within the same EI series, compare the pitch (2.50 mm), row count, and position count; TE offers other right-angle headers with the same footprint but different contact plating or latch style.
The square pin contact shape (0.64 mm typical for 2.50 mm pitch) ensures reliable solder joint formation in the plated through-hole.
Compliance and Housing Material
The natural (off-white) colour is standard for the EI series. Voltage rating is 250 VAC / 350 VDC — sufficient for general-purpose signal and low-power distribution inside control cabinets, test equipment, and consumer appliances.
