2-position dual-row header: what the pin count means for your BOM
The 1586038-2 is a 2-position, dual-row header from TE's VAL-U-LOK series — board-to-wire, through-hole solder, with a 4-wall shroud and locking ramp. The dual-row arrangement means the second row is unpopulated; your mating half must also be a dual-row receptacle to engage the locking ramp correctly. Rated 9 A per circuit at 600VAC, the current limit is per contact, not a sum across both positions.
Peer comparison: 1586038-2 vs. 1586038-4
The 1586038-4 is the 4-position version of the same dual-row header, identical in pitch (0.165" row spacing), current rating (9 A), voltage (600VAC), and locking ramp. If your BOM needs more circuits, the -4 is a drop-in footprint match — same shroud, same mounting, same termination.
