What this 12-position 2 mm header brings to the board
The 1-292132-2: This is a 12-position, single-row header from TE's CT series, pitched at 2.00 mm — a common spacing for compact wire-to-board interconnects in consumer and industrial gear. The detent lock gives a positive click when the receptacle seats fully — you feel and hear it lock. In a panel that sees vibration from fans or pumps, that lock keeps the pair mated without relying on the wire strain alone. Rated at 125 VAC, with current capacity that depends on the wire gauge you crimp into the mating terminal. The tin-plated mating contacts are suited for moderate-cycle applications — think a few dozen matings over the product life, not daily disconnect.
Mounting and termination details for the harness builder
Through-hole mounting with kinked solder posts — the kink provides a press-fit retention in the plated hole before wave solder, so the header stays put during board handling. The post length is 3.20 mm, overall contact length 9.09 mm, mating pin length 4.20 mm.
