Board-edge wire-to-board header for space-constrained assemblies
The 1-292227-6 is a 16-position, single-row header from TE's Mini CT series, designed for board-to-cable/wire interconnects. Its 1.50 mm pitch and right-angle SMT orientation let it sit flush against the PCB edge, saving z-height in enclosures where the cable runs parallel to the board. The shrouded 4-wall housing with detent lock provides positive retention and vibration resistance — the lock clicks audibly on full mate, and the shroud protects the pins from damage during handling. Rated for -30°C to 105°C operation and housed in UL94 V-0 PA6T, this header suits general-purpose applications in automotive interior, industrial control cabinets, and consumer appliances where flame rating and a moderate temperature range are required.
SMT solder retention and board guide for automated assembly
The header includes board guide features and solder retention tabs to hold it in place during reflow — the board guide aligns the part on the PCB pads, and the solder retention anchors the body against the shear force from cable strain after mating. Termination is solder only, with tin-plated posts on the tail side and tin-plated mating pins. Tin plating is cost-effective for moderate mating-cycle applications in non-corrosive environments.
