Wire-to-board power header for panel wiring
Its 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 7.5A per-contact rating suit it for distributing moderate power on a PCB, while the right-angle orientation keeps the wire exit parallel to the board for space-constrained enclosures.
Pitch and current rating for the BOM line
At 5 positions and 5.08mm pitch, this header occupies a wider board footprint than a typical 2.54mm-pitch signal header — the extra spacing helps with routing thicker traces for the 7.5A load. Compared to the 4-position, 2.50mm-pitch 1-1871673-2, the 1744048-5 offers a wider pitch and a single-row layout, making it a better fit for lower-density power distribution where board space is less constrained.
