Board-fit and mating interface
The 1-292141-8 is an 18-position, dual-row header on 2.00mm pitch with a 6.50mm row spacing — the footprint fits standard TE CT IDC receptacles and crimp housings. The through-hole solder tails are 3.20mm long, suited for 1.6mm PCBs with standard wave-solder profiles. A full 4-wall shroud surrounds the 4.70mm-long mating pins, protecting them from bent contacts during blind mating and guiding the receptacle into alignment.
For applications requiring more cycles or exposure to corrosive atmospheres, consider the gold-plated variants in the CT series.
