13-Position 2mm Header with Detent Lock
The 1-292161-3 is a 13-position, single-row vertical header from the TE Connectivity CT series, on a 2.00mm pitch. It mates with CT series wire-to-board receptacle housings, making it a straightforward choice for board-to-cable interconnects in control panels, sensors, and general-purpose equipment.
Shrouded Protection and Positive Locking
The detent lock gives an audible and tactile click when fully mated — you should hear it seat — and holds the connection against vibration.
Through-Hole Termination and Tin Plating
The insulation material is PA66 (Nylon 6/6) rated UL94 V-0.
