The 178496-1 carries 3 positions. For a 2-position option, the 178495-1 shares the same right-angle through-hole, locking ramp, and board lock features. For 4 or 5 positions, the 178487-1 and 178488-1 are vertical through-hole variants without the right-angle bend.
This header mates with a matching Universal Power receptacle housing and crimp terminals. The locking ramp on the header engages with the receptacle's latch for vibration-resistant mating. Confirm the receptacle part number against your wire gauge and circuit count.
Yes, the 178496-1 is listed as Board to Cable/Wire style. It is a header that accepts a mating cable-side receptacle, making it suitable for wire-to-board power connections.
