Product details

Right-angle header for wire-to-board disconnects

With 18 positions loaded across two rows at 3.50mm pitch and 5.90mm row spacing, the board footprint requires a larger keep-out than a 2.54mm-pitch header — plan for 0.138" (3.50mm) between adjacent pins and 0.232" (5.90mm) between rows. The contact length after the solder tail is 0.157" (4.00mm), which sets the through-hole depth on the PCB. The insulation height of 0.622" (15.80mm) gives clearance under the shroud for mating plug housings.

Current, temperature, and material limits

The PBT housing carries a UL94 HB flammability rating — suitable for most enclosed equipment, but not for applications requiring V-0.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mating connector for 173862-1?

The 173862-1 is a header with tab contacts (rectangular shape) designed to mate with a Multi-Lock receptacle housing that accepts the corresponding crimp terminals. The locking ramp on the header engages with the latch on the plug housing. Confirm the circuit count and wire gauge against the receptacle part number in the same series.

Is 173862-1 suitable for automotive underhood applications?

The UL94 HB rating also limits use to enclosed equipment where V-0 is not required.
