Mini Dynamic 16-Pin SMT Header — 1.80 mm Pitch, Right-Angle Board-to-Cable
Its 1.80 mm pitch sets the PCB footprint density — tighter than the 2.50 mm or 2.85 mm pitches of some Mini Dynamic siblings, which means more signal paths per board edge. The Y-key orientation (per the description) ensures correct polarization with the mating half.
No official second-source cross-reference exists, but the Mini Dynamic series includes through-hole and higher-pitch variants (e.g., 1394090-1 at 2.85 mm pitch) that are not pin-compatible without a board layout change.
This is a receptacle (female housing accepting male pins), not a header — the naming follows TE's convention for the board-mounted half. It mates with a Mini Dynamic plug (cable-side) carrying the corresponding female crimp terminals. The 1.80 mm pitch and single-row layout require a matching PCB footprint with 16 solder pads on a 1.80 mm grid. For vibration-prone environments, consider a Mini Dynamic variant with a latch holder (e.g., 1394090-1) if the board layout can accommodate the different pitch.
