Product details

3.96mm pitch, 12 positions, 3 rows — Power Double Lock header

This 179843-1 is a 12-position, 3-row header from TE's Power Double Lock series, designed for board-to-cable power distribution.

Locking ramp and board guide for vibration resistance

The integrated board guide aligns the header during wave soldering, reducing skew and ensuring the pins enter the plated through-holes squarely.

Through-hole kinked pin termination

The 0.150" post length (3.81mm) is standard for most single-sided boards; confirm the board thickness and solder fillet height in your stack-up.

The base product number is 179843.

Peer comparison: 3-row vs 2-row and 1-row alternatives

Compared to the 12-position, 2-row 1379030-3 (0.100" pitch, friction lock), the 179843-1 offers a wider 3.96mm pitch and a locking ramp for higher vibration duty. The 1-row 1-2232960-3 (3 positions, 2.50mm pitch) is a smaller alternative for lower circuit counts. Neither is a direct drop-in — the row count, pitch, and footprint differ.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pin pitch of 179843-1?

The mating pitch is 0.156" (3.96mm). Row spacing is 0.181" (4.60mm).

Is 179843-1 shrouded?

Yes, it is shrouded with a 4-wall design, protecting the tab contacts from damage and preventing mis-mating.

What is the 179843-1 equivalent?

The peer 1-2232960-3 is a 1-row, 3-position, 2.50mm pitch header — different footprint and circuit count. For a 12-position alternative, the 1379030-3 (2-row, 0.100" pitch) shares position count but differs in row count and pitch.
