Right-Angle SMT Header for Board-to-Cable Duty
The 1-292227-2: This is a 12-position, single-row header from TE's Mini CT series, pitched at 0.059" (1.50mm) and terminated by surface-mount solder in a right-angle orientation. Rated for 50VAC and a current that varies by wire gauge, the header carries tin-plated square pins with a 0.094" (2.40mm) mating length. The beige polyamide (PA6T, glass-filled) housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and the operating range spans -30°C to 105°C.
Footprint Fit and Assembly Aids
The 1.50mm pitch is tighter than the 2.00mm pitch on the through-hole sibling 1-292164-1, which saves board real estate but demands a finer routing clearance. The right-angle SMT orientation keeps the connector profile low against the PCB edge, unlike a vertical header that eats z-height.
