The 1-1971032-1: The board lock anchors the header during solder reflow and resists shear force from the cable assembly, while the latch holder secures the mating housing — together they keep the connection intact under vibration. Through-hole solder termination gives a stronger mechanical bond than SMT for a wire-to-board application where the cable sees occasional tugging.
Mating Half and Terminal Compatibility
All 10 positions are loaded — no empty cavities to manage.
Sourcing and Production Status
ROHS3 compliant.
If you need the secondary retention of a latch holder and the solder-joint reinforcement of a board lock, 1-1971032-1 is the better fit.
