Board-Edge Hermaphroditic Connector for Power Distribution
The 1954289-2: Its hermaphroditic mating interface means any two identical connectors mate without needing separate male and female halves — simplifying inventory and assembly in harness builds. The right-angle surface-mount termination places the connector at the PCB edge, parallel to the board plane, which saves vertical clearance in space-constrained enclosures. Rated for 6 A per circuit at 125 V, this connector handles moderate power distribution in applications like power supplies, lighting, and industrial controls where the 4.00 mm pitch provides adequate creepage between circuits.
What the 6 A and 125 V Ratings Mean for Your Circuit
The 6 A per circuit rating at 125 V is a moderate power spec. The tin-plated contacts and 4.00 mm pitch give enough surface area and creepage to carry this current without excessive temperature rise in still-air conditions.
The gold-plated sibling 1-2213614-1 is also active, giving a qualified second-source option if tin contacts don't meet your mating-cycle requirement.
