Single-Position Blade for Board-Edge Interconnect
The TE Connectivity 1971742-1 is a 1-position blade connector from the 1971742 series, designed for board-to-board applications. It mounts on the board edge with a right-angle surface-mount orientation, making it a compact interconnect for parallel or perpendicular PCB stacking.
Mating Half and Board Layout Fit
This blade mates with the TE Connectivity 1971743-1 receptacle, which also carries a 1-position, 3 A, 300 V rating in the same right-angle SMT footprint.
Packaging and Line-Feed for SMT Assembly
The right-angle orientation requires the board-edge footprint to be clear of components in the mating zone — the blade extends perpendicular to the PCB plane, so the keep-out area on the mating side must be accounted for in the layout. No MSL rating is listed, but the thermoplastic housing is standard for reflow profiles typical of SMT connectors.
