The 179839-1: This is a 3-position, single-row header on 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, through-hole termination with kinked pins for retention during wave solder. This matters in any application where the cable assembly will see vibration or occasional tugging.
This header accepts a Power Double Lock receptacle housing (sold separately). The 3.96mm pitch and locking ramp are specific to the series — confirm the mating half part number against your wire harness assembly before ordering.
The mating half is a Power Double Lock receptacle housing from the same series. The 0.156" pitch and locking ramp are keyed to that housing family. Check the TE Connectivity Power Double Lock catalog for the specific receptacle part number that matches your wire gauge and circuit count.
