Sizing and Fit for the Metrimate Header
The 1-207119-0 is a 4-position, dual-row header from TE's Metrimate series, pitched at 4.98mm (0.196in) between contacts. Rated 7.5A per circuit at 600V, the header suits signal and moderate power distribution in automotive, general-purpose, and industrial equipment. The latch lock and mounting flange give positive mechanical retention — the latch clicks on mating with the receptacle, and the flange bolts to the panel or bracket, which is the difference between a connector that stays mated under vibration and one that walks loose.
Comparing Against the Peer Alternatives
The 1-1871673-2 is a 2-position variant — half the circuits, same pitch and current. The 4-1775099-7 is a 6-position version. Choose the 1-207119-0 when the BOM calls for exactly 4 circuits in a dual-row layout.
The header mates with standard Metrimate receptacles — the 4-wall shroud accepts the receptacle housing, and the latch lock engages to hold the pair. Through-hole solder termination: the tin-plated posts (0.181in length) fit a standard PCB hole pattern for the 4.98mm pitch. The mounting flange can be bolted to the board or panel for additional strain relief.
