Termination and Board Mounting
The 1744418-9: Through-hole termination with kinked solder posts — the kink provides retention during wave solder before the joint solidifies, and the 3.40 mm post length fits standard 1.6 mm PCBs. The board guide feature assists alignment during automated placement, reducing skew on the pick-and-place line.
Glow Wire Compliance and Regulatory Fit
Glow wire compliant per IEC 60335-1, making this header a direct fit for lighting fixtures, household appliances, and other equipment requiring glow-wire testing for safety certification. ROHS3 compliant and built with a UL94 V-0 polyamide housing — the material selection supports both lead-free soldering processes and end-product flammability requirements.
No direct second-source or pin-compatible replacement from TE Connectivity; the 1-2232960-3 is a 3-position variant in the same series but different circuit count and fastening type (locking ramp vs friction lock).
