Right-angle header with latch retention for automotive and industrial wire-to-board
The 175615-2 is a 16-position, 2-row header from the TE Multi-Lock series, designed for board-to-cable/wire connections in automotive and general-purpose applications. A full 4-wall shroud protects the rectangular tab contacts from damage during handling and blind mating, while the latch holder fastening locks the mating receptacle in place without extra hardware — a real plus in vibration-prone environments like under-hood or industrial cabinets.
The 0.146-inch (3.70 mm) solder post length provides a solid through-hole joint without protruding too far past the board bottom. Contact finish is tin on both the mating tab and the solder post — a cost-effective choice for moderate mating-cycle applications where the connector stays mated for long periods. The brass base material offers good conductivity and spring properties for the tab contact. Current rating is listed as 'varies by wire gauge' — a common note for wire-to-board headers where the limiting factor is the attached wire, not the contact itself.
