Product details

12-position right-angle header with friction lock

Peer comparison: 1-292164-1

The closest functional alternative is 1-292164-1, an 11-position single-row header from the CT series with a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and a detent lock. The 1-281698-2 offers one more circuit and a wider 0.100" pitch, which may simplify routing for legacy designs. The detent lock on the CT series provides a different retention feel; the friction lock on the HE13/HE14 is a simpler, lower-insertion-force design.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mating half for 1-281698-2?

This header mates with HE13/HE14 series IDC receptacles and crimp housings that accept 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch contacts. The friction lock engages with the corresponding slot on the receptacle. Confirm the mating part number from the series catalog.

Can 1-281698-2 be used with 2.54mm IDC connectors?

The square pins and 0.025" square profile are compatible with most IDC receptacles designed for that pitch.
