The 1445093-8: The 8 positions in a single row keep the connector narrow, which helps when routing traces to a tight I/O bank. In a field-service context, you hear the latch click when it's fully home — that audible feedback confirms the connector is seated before you button up the panel.
No official pin-compatible replacement or cross-reference from TE Connectivity. The 1445093-8 is the current production part; if you need a different circuit count, the Micro MATE-N-LOK series includes other position sizes at the same 3.00 mm pitch.
