Product details

28-Position Dual-Row Header for Wire-to-Board Harnesses

Pitch, Row Spacing, and PCB Footprint

At 2.50mm pitch and 5.20mm row spacing, this header occupies a specific board area that differs from the 4.20mm-pitch ATX series (peer 4-1775099-7) — a meaningful difference when routing density is tight. The 28-position count is fully loaded, so every pin position is present — no partial-population variants to track.

A mounting flange is included for additional mechanical retention to the PCB.

Frequently asked questions

Is 174979-2 suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, the application listing includes automotive and general-purpose use. The locking ramp and shrouded 4-wall design provide vibration resistance typical of automotive wire-to-board connections.

What is the mating female connector for 174979-2?

This is a header from the Multi-Lock series. The mating half is a Multi-Lock receptacle housing that accepts the same 2.50mm pitch tab contacts. Confirm the receptacle part number against your wire gauge and circuit count.

Is 174979-2 RoHS compliant?

Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant.
