Board-Edge Header for Compact Dual-Row Routing
The 1-2842166-2 is a 12-position, dual-row shrouded header from TE Connectivity's AMPMODU series, on 2.00mm pitch — a standard fine-pitch for dense board-to-board or cable interconnects. Gold-plated mating contacts (3.94µin over nickel) handle 2 A per circuit at 125VAC/DC, with the detent lock holding the pair mated under moderate vibration — a practical choice for industrial control panels or general-purpose equipment where the header sees occasional reconnection.
2.00mm Pitch and Right-Angle Mounting Constraints
The 2.00mm pitch sets the board footprint: each row of six pins occupies 10.00mm of linear board edge, with a 2.00mm row-to-row spacing. The right-angle body has an insulation height of 0.240" (6.10mm) above the board surface, and the solder posts extend 0.098" (2.50mm) below — the z-height budget must clear nearby components on the solder side. The shrouded 2-wall housing (UL94 V-0 thermoplastic) protects the male pins from bent contacts during blind mating and provides a keying envelope that prevents misalignment with the receptacle.
