The 179846-1: This is a 3-position, single-row header with a 6.50 mm pitch — that 0.256" spacing is wide enough to route heavier traces between pads without necking down, and it sets the board footprint for the mating Power Double Lock receptacle. The shrouded - 4 wall design and locking ramp mean the mating half clicks in and stays put under vibration; the ramp is the retention mechanism, not just a friction fit.
