Right-angle header for wire-to-board power distribution
The 1-794106-1 is a 20-position, 4.14mm-pitch header from TE's Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. The right-angle through-hole termination keeps the mating cable parallel to the PCB, saving vertical space in enclosures where height is tight. The shrouded 4-wall housing protects the male pins from damage during handling and mis-mating.
Locking ramp and board lock for vibration duty
A locking ramp on the header mates with the matching receptacle's latch for a positive mechanical lock — this prevents the connection from backing out under vibration or cable tug. The integrated board lock anchors the header to the PCB during wave soldering and adds shear resistance against cable strain forces.
Gold mating contacts rated for repeated cycles
The gold mating surface supports repeated connect/disconnect cycles without fretting corrosion — relevant for equipment that sees periodic maintenance or reconfiguration.
