The 1969730-9 is a single-row, 9-position header from TE's Economy Power 2.5 series, built for board-to-cable/wire applications where a reliable, cost-conscious interconnect is needed. Rated at 4.2A per contact and 250VAC, this header handles moderate power and signal duty in general-purpose, industrial, and lighting environments.
Shroud and lock keep the connection secure
The 4-wall shroud surrounds the male pins, protecting them from damage during handling and blind mating. The friction lock on the top wall engages with the mating receptacle's latch to resist accidental disconnection in moderate vibration — think industrial control panels or lighting fixtures, not engine bays.
