The 1-2842248-6: The 0.098" (2.50 mm) post length provides enough solder tail for a reliable through-hole joint on boards up to 1.6 mm thick, with the contact length to mating at 0.141" (3.60 mm) ensuring full engagement with the receptacle.
Current and Voltage: Signal-Level Ceilings
Rated 2 A per contact and 125 VAC/DC — this is a signal interconnect for logic-level circuits, sensor buses, and low-power I/O, not a power distribution header.
Mating Interface and Retention
Gold-on-mating-face finish at 3.94 µinch (0.100 µm) provides corrosion resistance for moderate mating cycles — typically 50-100 mate/unmate events before the contact resistance rises. The tin post finish (78.7 µinch) is standard for solder joint reliability. The detent lock gives audible and tactile feedback on mating and holds the pair engaged under moderate vibration — suitable for industrial control cabinets and test equipment where the connector is not subject to continuous shock.
ROHS3 Compliant — no restricted substances above the threshold limits, suitable for global markets including EU and China RoHS. The base product number is 2842248; the full 1-2842248-6 suffix indicates the specific plating and packaging variant (tube).
