1.25mm pitch SMT header for signal-level wire-to-board
The 1734260-6 is a 6-position, single-row surface-mount header from TE's High Performance Interconnect (HPI) series, pitched at 0.049" (1.25mm) — a compact spacing that saves board real estate while keeping routing manageable for signal traces. Solder retention tabs on the body hold the header flat against the PCB pad during reflow, preventing the part from shifting or tombstoning — a practical feature for high-volume SMT lines.
Rated 1A per contact — signal duty, not power
Compared to the through-hole right-angle 1394090-1 (2.85mm pitch, latch holder), this SMT part trades ruggedness for density — the 1.25mm pitch allows a much smaller footprint, but the 1A rating is lower than the 1394090-1's unspecified current capacity.
