Right-angle shrouded header for wire-to-board power and signal
179096-1 is an 8-position, dual-row header from TE's Multi-Lock series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. It uses a fully shrouded 4-wall housing with a latch holder for secure mating in environments where vibration or cable strain is present. The right-angle through-hole termination keeps the connector parallel to the PCB, saving space in low-profile enclosures typical of automotive and general-purpose equipment.
Dual-row layout and tin-plated contacts
Two rows with a mating row spacing of 0.232" (5.90 mm) and 0.157" (4.00 mm) post length. All 8 positions are loaded, and the rectangular tab contacts are tin-plated on both mating and post surfaces. Current rating varies by wire gauge, so the actual ampacity depends on the crimp terminal and wire size used in the mating half.
