Product details

36-position, 2.5mm right-angle header with full shroud and latch

The 179059-6 is a 36-position, 2-row header from TE's Multi-Lock series, pitched at 0.098" (2.50mm) with a row spacing of 0.205" (5.20mm). It mounts through-hole and exits the board at a right angle, which keeps the wire harness parallel to the PCB — a space-saver in tight enclosures. This is the kind of connector you spec when a loose cable can stop a production line or strand a vehicle.

Rated for automotive and industrial temperature swings

The PBT insulation holds up to the heat and the tin-plated brass contacts handle repeated mating in corrosive environments.

Frequently asked questions

Is 179059-6 compatible with standard TE Multi-Lock receptacles?

Yes, the 179059-6 is a shrouded header from the Multi-Lock series and mates with standard Multi-Lock receptacle housings that accept 2.50mm pitch tab contacts. Confirm the receptacle part number matches the circuit count and keying.
