Board-mount right-angle header for power distribution
The 1-2213932-2: This 12-position shrouded header from the WireMate, TB, Buchanan series mates with a matching plug to carry 8 A per contact at 300 V UL.
SMT termination and reflow considerations
Surface-mount termination eliminates through-hole soldering, but the right-angle body means the component's center of gravity shifts during reflow. Ensure the board layout includes adequate solder pad area and that the reflow profile matches the thermoplastic housing material.
Mating and contact finish
If the connector will see frequent reconnects or corrosive atmospheres, consider a gold-plated alternative in the same series. The header accepts the matching WireMate plug, which uses crimp terminals for field-termination flexibility.
